Methyl Ethyl Ketoxime (MEKO) Supplier in Malaysia
- Also known as
- MEKO
- 2-Butanone Oxime
- Butanone Oxime
- Methyl Ethyl Ketone Oxime
Methyl ethyl ketoxime supplier for coatings, varnish, printing-ink and industrial formulation buyers in Malaysia. Also known as MEKO, 2-butanone oxime and butanone oxime, it is a ketoxime additive identified by CAS 96-29-7 and formula C4H9NO.
Coatings grade is selected for alkyd, varnish and other oxidative systems that specify an anti-skinning additive. Technical grade covers general formulation work, while specified-purity material is requested when colour, water and residual impurity limits are controlled more tightly. The offered grade is confirmed against the enquiry.
MEKO is used in selected paints, industrial coatings, printing inks and related formulations where the coating maker sets the additive dosage. It is not methyl ethyl ketone, also called MEK, so the full product name or CAS should be used when the purchase specification distinguishes the solvent from the oxime.
Send the grade, formulation, target specification, quantity and delivery location with your enquiry. Availability, packing, documentation and delivery timing are confirmed for the quoted requirement, with pricing supplied for a stated validity period.

Methyl Ethyl Ketoxime grades and forms
We supply several forms to suit different formulating and dosing setups. If you need a size that is not listed, ask us.
| Grade | Form | Assay | Typical use | Packing |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Coatings-grade methyl ethyl ketoxime | clear, colourless to pale yellow liquid | — | Anti-skinning additive for alkyd, varnish and other oxidative coating systems where MEKO is specified to protect the product during storage. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |
| Technical-grade MEKO | clear, colourless to pale yellow liquid | — | Coating, ink and industrial formulation work where a routine ketoxime specification is suitable and the formulation sets its own dosage. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |
| Specified-purity methyl ethyl ketoxime | clear, low-colour liquid | — | Controlled coating or chemical-processing work where the buyer defines purity, colour, water and residual impurity limits for the additive. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |

Common questions about methyl ethyl ketoxime
Are methyl ethyl ketoxime and MEKO the same product?
Yes. MEKO is the common abbreviation for methyl ethyl ketoxime, also called 2-butanone oxime, butanone oxime or methyl ethyl ketone oxime, CAS 96-29-7. State the full name or CAS in the enquiry to avoid an abbreviation mismatch.
Is MEKO the same as methyl ethyl ketone?
No. Methyl ethyl ketone, or MEK, is a ketone solvent, while methyl ethyl ketoxime is an oxime additive used mainly in coating formulations. They have different structures, functions and specifications and must be ordered as separate products.
What is methyl ethyl ketoxime used for in coatings?
MEKO is used as an anti-skinning additive in selected alkyd paints, varnishes, industrial coatings and printing inks. The coating maker sets the dosage and grade controls for the formulation, so include the product system in the enquiry.
Which MEKO grade should a coating manufacturer request?
Coatings grade is the natural starting point for alkyd, varnish and oxidative coating systems. Technical grade suits general formulation work, while a specified-purity grade is requested when the plant controls colour, water or residual impurities more tightly.
What specifications matter for an MEKO enquiry?
State the formulation, required purity, colour and water limits, any residual impurity controls and the quantity. If the coating recipe has an established additive specification, send it with the enquiry so the quoted grade can be checked against it.
How do I request a methyl ethyl ketoxime price in Malaysia?
Send the grade, coating or industrial application, target specification, quantity and delivery location. Include preferred packing and documentation needs so the quotation can address the complete requirement and validity.
