Product Description

DIBK (diisobutyl ketone) is a slow evaporating, low density solvent that has good solvency for many synthetic resins including nitrocellulose, rosin esters, phenolics, hydrocarbons, alkyds, polyesters, and acrylics. It is useful as a retarder solvent to improve flow and minimize humidity blushing.
