Methyl hexyl ketone, also known as 2-octanone, is a colorless liquid with the chemical formula C₈H₁₆O, used in various industrial and chemical applications. It is primarily employed as a solvent in the production of coatings, adhesives, and inks, and as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Methyl hexyl ketone is also used as a flavoring agent in food and beverages. Despite its utility, methyl hexyl ketone can cause skin, eye, and respiratory irritation if not handled properly. Proper handling, storage, and safety measures, including the use of personal protective equipment, are essential to ensure safe usage and prevent exposure.
