Methyl Isobutyl Carbinol (MIBC) – 99.5% Purity

Methyl Isobutyl Carbinol (MIBC) is a versatile industrial-grade alcohol primarily used in the mining industry as a flotation frother. It also serves as a highly effective solvent in coatings, paints, inks, adhesives, and lubricant formulations.

At Cavin Resource, we supply high-purity MIBC (≥99.5%) designed to meet the rigorous demands of the global chemical and mining industries. Our MIBC is manufactured through oxonation of diisobutylene followed by hydrogenation, ensuring consistent quality, clarity, and stability.

We offer flexible packaging options including drums, IBCs, and ISO tanks, and ship worldwide with full compliance to international safety and quality standards.

⚙️ Production Method

Oxonation and Hydrogenation Process

1. Diisobutylene undergoes oxonation to form methyl isobutyl ketone (MIBK).

2. MIBK is hydrogenated to produce Methyl Isobutyl Carbinol (MIBC).

3. The product is distilled to achieve ≥99.5% purity.
