Ketones - oxygenated chemical solvents
Shell chemicals companies are leading suppliers of Ketones, part of our range of high purity chemical solvents. Ketones are chemically stable with relatively low density and strong solvent power. They are at least partially miscible in water and have the ability to dissolve a wide range of synthetic and natural resins which makes them well suited to low viscosity and high solids formulations.
