Most of the production of Sec-Butanol (SBA) is used to produce Methyl Ethyl Ketone (MEK). Butanol is also used in the production of Sec-Butyl Acetate and pharmaceutical intermediates. In addition, it is used as a solvent in paints, coatings, resins, and adhesives. Especially its mixture with aromatic hydrocarbons is a very suitable solvent for alkyd resins and ethyl cellulose varnishes. Since SBA is able to dissolve both water and some oils, it is used in the process of making brake oils and cleaners. Furthermore, SBA is used in the process of preparing perfumes, colors, fruit essences, and moisturizers
