typo?

I am familiar with MIBK (methyl isobutyl ketone) and DIBK (diisobutyl ketone) etc, but not KIBK. There are a couple of googles with KIBK that refer to methyl isobutyl ketone and diisobutyl ketone (both Chinese patents), but these are probably typos too.

agree Sabine Akabayov, PhD : I would say it's MIBK. This might also be an OCR problem, e.g. in this text, MIBK is read as KIBK http://www.ipen.br/biblioteca/ipen/1989/03379.pdf

agree David Moore (X) : Bear in mind too that M and K are adjacent on the keyboard, so it is probably "MIBK". (Hello Gillian and a HNY!)

Hi David, HNY to you too! Good point about closeness of M and K on keyboard. Also most spelling checkers ignore words in capital letters
Something went wrong...
