Methyl Isobutyl Carbinol (MIBC, CAS 78-44-4) is a vital branched-chain aliphatic alcohol, renowned for its selective solubility, controlled volatility, and exceptional compatibility with organic/inorganic substrates—making it a trusted choice for high-performance industrial applications. Unlike conventional solvents, MIBC offers a unique balance of mild reactivity and robust functional versatility, serving as both a high-efficiency process aid and a reliable chemical intermediate that meets stringent global quality and safety standards.

MIBC’s applications span critical sectors worldwide: it is the preferred frother in mineral flotation (specifically for copper, molybdenum, and lead-zinc ore separation), where its ability to generate stable, selective bubbles enhances ore recovery rates; it acts as a premium coalescent in water-based coatings and adhesives, improving film integrity and durability; and it functions as a key building block in synthesizing plasticizers, surface-active agents, and specialty pharmaceuticals. Additionally, MIBC is widely used as a low-toxicity solvent in printing inks, industrial cleaners, and electronic component processing.

Our MIBC product line features tailored grades (industrial-grade, technical-grade, and high-purity grade) to address diverse customer needs, with rigorous quality control ensuring ultra-low impurity levels (<0.1%) and consistent physical-chemical properties for reliable formulation results. We provide flexible supply options (bulk drums, IBC totes, and small containers), full compliance documentation (MSDS, UN/DOT shipping certificates, REACH/SDS updates), and optimized logistics for flammable liquid transportation. Our expert technical team offers personalized support—including flotation process optimization, formulation compatibility testing, and safety compliance guidance—to help you maximize operational efficiency and reduce costs.
