Isophorone
Isophorone is an α,β-unsaturated cyclic ketone. It is a colorless liquid with a characteristic peppermint-like odor, although commercial samples can appear yellowish. Used as a solvent and as a precursor to polymers, it is produced on a large scale industrially.
Application
The major use n-hexane is to extract vegetable oils from crops due to its narrow distillation range and selective power. Its wide usages are in the rubber industry as a base for rubber cement and in tyre manufacture and in contact adhesives, paints and inks, where fast drying and ability to suspend are required
