Pune, July 25, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- " Methyl isobutyl carbinol (MIBC) ", also known as 4-Methyl-2-pentanol, is an organic chemical compound, and a derivative of acetone. MIBC is a colorless, stable liquid with a pungent alcohol odor. It is principally used as a blowing agent in mineral flotation. It is an excellent foaming reagent, which is used for both non-ferrous metal oxide ores as well as fine-grained sulfide ores. It is partially soluble in water but is miscible with most organic solvents. It has a good solvent power for dissolving oils, gums, natural resins, waxes, and cellulose. It is used as a latent solvent within a solvent blend to alter performance characteristics such as drying/curing and viscosity/flow. It is used as a precursor to various plasticizers as a solvent in organic amalgamation and production of brake fluid. The application areas of MIBC include surface coatings, adhesives, thinners, printing inks, cosmetics, toiletries, and cleaners. It is also used in pharmaceutical applications for the extraction of vitamins & minerals, as wetting agents in lithographic printing, and as chemical intermediates.
