How much does a gallon of MEK weight?
Taking the density of MEK @ 20°C to be 804.9 kg/m^3... 264.172 gallons in 1 m^3 gravity = 9.81 m/s^2 4.4482 N in 1 lb Multiplying out correctly, 1 gal of MEK weighs approximately 6.72 lbs.
How do you make the grip solvent?
Grip solvent is definitely the best for re-gripping, but you can use white spirit or petrol, which both work well.
What is the difference between acetone and methyl ethyl ketone?
Chemically the difference is 1 carbon and 2 hydrogen atoms. Acetone ==> CH3-CHO-CH3 MEK (Butanone) ==> CH3-CHO-CH2-CH3 Their properties are therefore very similar because of this. MEK HARMFUL OR FATAL IF SWALLOWED. HARMFUL IF INHALED OR ABSORBED THROUGH SKIN. CAUSES IRRITATION TO SKIN, EYES AND RESPIRATORY TRACT. AFFECTS CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM. Acetone HARMFUL IF SWALLOWED OR INHALED. CAUSES IRRITATION TO SKIN, EYES AND RESPIRATORY TRACT. AFFECTS CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM Acetone also happens to be much cheaper. As for uses, since acetone evaporates quicker it is often used as a paint thinner as it will not prolong the drying time as much as MEK would. Acetone is also a better solvent because looking at the structure of the molecule it has a more medium polarity than MEK, and thus dissolves a wider range of compounds.
Are there more polar solvent than water for biology work?

What is the empirical formula for MEK?
MEK is Methyl Ethyl Ketone It is reasonably non-polar in nature, so that it is immiscible with water (By nature Polar mix with Polar and Non-Polar mix with Non-polar only). It is also known as 2-Butanone or Butan-2-one. It is used for solvent extraction of many metals as it complexes with MEK.
What is the birth name of Mek Pek?

Are MEK and MEK peroxide the same thing?
Not MEK (methyl ethyl ketone), MEK peroxide (methyl ethyl ketone peroxide, which is trimeric).
What is MEK?
Methyl Ethyl Ketone, or Butanone is a colorless solvent with with the formula CH3C(O)CH2CH3. A sharp smelling solvent with an odor of butterscotch and acetone and is actually related to acetone. Its used in dissolving paint, lacquer, varnishes and a cleaning agent.
