Isophorone/Cenke

Core Characteristics: 

1. Physical Properties
At room temperature, it is a colorless to pale yellow transparent liquid. It is slightly soluble in water and readily soluble in most organic solvents, such as ethanol, diethyl ether, and acetone. It evaporates slowly at room temperature.
2. Chemical Properties
(1) It is generally chemically stable at room temperature, but it readily undergoes dimerization upon exposure to light, forming dimers. It oxidizes slowly in air; therefore, it must be stored in a sealed container away from light.
(2) It is a typical α,β-unsaturated ketone capable of undergoing various characteristic reactions.
(3) Reaction Contraindications: It must not be stored for extended periods with strong oxidizing agents, strong acids, or strong bases, as this may cause violent reactions that destroy its molecular structure.
3. Main Applications
(1) High-boiling-point solvent: Used as a specialized solvent for spray paints and synthetic resin coatings, it is also widely used in inks, adhesives, and precision electronic cleaning agents. It can dissolve hard-to-dissolve substances such as phenolic resins and epoxy resins.
(2) Chemical Synthesis Intermediates: Used in the synthesis of high-end materials such as isophorone diamine (IPDA) and isophorone diisocyanate (IPDI). It serves as a core raw material for weather-resistant polyurethanes and epoxy resin curing agents, and can also be used in the synthesis of flavorings and pesticide intermediates.
(3) Other Applications: Used in small quantities in industrial fragrance formulation, rare metal extraction and separation, and rubber processing additives.

Grades and Specifications: Industrial grade.

The product strictly complies with the GB/T 2961-2014 national standard, accompanied by a complete set of MSDS, commodity inspection reports, and hazardous packaging certificates, and meets EU REACH import and export requirements. Standard packaging includes 200 kg galvanized closed-top steel drums and 1,000 L IBC containers. For large volumes, bulk transport via tank containers is available. Storing and transporting the product in a sealed, light-protected environment effectively delays oxidation and discoloration. Supply is stable and ample, supporting full-container and consolidated shipments for international trade, and meeting global chemical procurement and custom fine chemical production needs.
