Methyl Ethyl Ketone Oxime (MEKO) or 2-butanone oxime is an organic compound with various industrial applications. It is widely utilized as an additive in the production of paints and lacquers to prevent it from peeling off. It is mainly used to suppress the skinning of paints. It also finds its application as a blocking agent for isocyanates in adhesives and sealants to improve their stability and performance. It is also used as an anti-skinning agent in the preparation of printing inks and textile printing pastes to ensure smooth application. It is often used as a corrosion inhibitor to protect metal surfaces by forming protective films on its surface. It is also used as a stabilizer in the production of various plastic products, as it helps in preventing premature polymerization.

The demand for Methyl Ethyl Ketone Oxime is primarily led by its application as a peel-preventing additive in production a wide variety of paints. Its utilization as an anti-skinning agent in preventing the formation of skin during storage and application of paints and lacquers also promotes its demand in the paint and coatings industry. Its application as a blocking agent for isocyanates in the adhesive to enhance their performance further enhances its demand in the adhesive industry. Its usage as an anti-skinning agent in textile printing pastes and as a stabilizer in plastic production also contributes to its demand in the textile, printing, and plastic industries.

The main raw materials for the production of Methyl Ethyl Ketone Oxime (MEKO) include Methyl Ethyl Ketone (MEK), ammonia, and hydrogen peroxide. Therefore, changes in the availability and price of these raw materials directly impact the production costs of MEKO and industrial of Methyl Ethyl Ketone Oxime procurement. Compliance with strict health & safety regulations regarding emissions and waste management due to the toxicity of MEKO and its health risks further impacts its production costs and procurement strategies. Additionally, tariffs, trade agreements, and international relations can further impact the availability and pricing of MEKO on a global scale.

Raw Material for Methyl Ethyl Ketone Oxime Production

According to the Methyl Ethyl Ketone Oxime production plant project report, the major raw materials for Methyl Ethyl Ketone Oxime production include Methyl Ethyl Ketone-Hydrogen Peroxide (H2O2)-Ammonia.

Production Process of Methyl Ethyl Ketone Oxime

The extensive Methyl Ethyl Ketone Oxime production cost report consists of the following industrial production process:

• Production via Ammoximation: This method of production involves the formation of Methyl Ethyl Ketone Oxime through the process of liquid-phase ammoximation. The synthesis begins with the liquid-phase ammoximation of methyl ethyl ketone with hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and ammonia in the presence of titanium silicalite-1 (TS-1), Ti-MWW, Ti-MOR, and Ti-Beta catalysts, which results in the formation of methyl ethyl ketone oxime (MEKO) as the final product.

Methyl ethyl ketone oxime (MEKO) exists in the form of a clear, colorless pale-yellow liquid and has a density of approximately 0.923 g/cm³. The molecular formula of the compound is C4H9NO. Its molar mass is around 87.12 g/mol. It has a melting point of -15 °C and a boiling point of 152 °C. The compound is soluble in water, alcohol, and many organic solvents. MEKO is highly flammable and has a flash point of 62 °C. The autoignition temperature of the compound is around 310 °C. The compound is also heavier than air, with a vapor density of 3. MEKO is reactive and reacts violently with strong acids and oxidizing agents. It is also sensitive to heat, as it gets easily decomposed at elevated temperatures below 120 °C. Its structure has an oxime functional group, which enables it to form oxime derivatives from carbonyl compounds.
