Isophorone Solvent (3,5,5-Trimethyl-2-cyclohexen-1-one) for Industrial Applications | High-Boiling Point Solvent - CAS 78-59-1

Isophorone (also known as "1,1,3-Trimethylcyclohexenone", scientific name 3,5,5-Trimethyl-2-cyclohexen-1-one) is a six-membered cyclic α,β-unsaturated ketone with the chemical formula C9H14O. It is a colorless to yellow volatile liquid with a characteristic odor (camphor/mint scent). Naturally found in cranberries, it is insoluble in water but soluble in ethanol, ether, acetone, and most organic solvents. Upon exposure to light, it converts to a dimer. In air, it oxidizes to 4,4,6-Trimethyl-1,2-cyclohexanedione.

1. Product Description:

Isophorone is a colorless to yellow volatile liquid with a characteristic odor (camphor/mint scent). It is naturally found in cranberries and is insoluble in water but soluble in ethanol, ether, acetone, and most organic solvents. Upon exposure to light, it converts to a dimer. In air, it oxidizes to 4,4,6-Trimethyl-1,2-cyclohexanedione. It is slightly soluble in water and readily soluble in alcohol, ether, and acetone.

2. Product Applications:

Isophorone is used as a solvent for paints, inks, coatings, gums, resins, and nitrocellulose, as well as a chemical synthesis intermediate. It is particularly suitable for vinyl resins. It is mainly used in pesticides, coatings, and can coatings. Isophorone serves as a high-boiling solvent for nitrocellulose lacquers and synthetic resin coatings and is used as a special paint thinner. When mixed with methyl isobutyl ketone, it can dissolve phenolic and epoxy resins.
