Key Applications
  • Anti-Skinning Agent in Paints & Coatings
  • Silicone Curing Agent
  • Corrosion Inhibitor
  • Blocking Agent for Isocyanates
  • Wood Preservative and Other Uses
The main detailed uses of the product
  • Anti-Skinning Agent in Paints & Coatings
    Anti-Skinning Agent in Paints & Coatings

    MEKO is primarily used as an efficient anti-skinning agent in various coatings, including alkyd resins, oil-based paints, epoxy esters, and polyurethane formulations. It prevents the formation of a skin on the surface of the paint during storage by inhibiting the surface oxidation of drying oils, thereby reducing waste and maintaining product quality.

  • Silicone Curing Agent
    Silicone Curing Agent

    High-purity MEKO serves as a raw material for synthesizing silicone crosslinking agents (silicone curing agents), which are essential in the production of silicone sealants and adhesives.

  • Corrosion Inhibitor
    Corrosion Inhibitor

    It functions as a volatile corrosion inhibitor in industrial boiler water treatment systems and other water-based applications. Its vapor phase action helps protect metal surfaces throughout the system.

  • Blocking Agent for Isocyanates
    Blocking Agent for Isocyanates

    MEKO acts as a blocking agent for isocyanates in certain polymer systems. It temporarily deactivates the isocyanate group at room temperature, which can be released under heat, enabling the production of one-component polyurethane systems.

  • Wood Preservative and Other Uses
    Wood Preservative and Other Uses

    Its applications extend to use as a wood preservative and as an intermediate in organic synthesis, including pharmaceutical intermediates.
