Global Methyl Isobutyl Carbinol (MIBC) Market Competitors, Segment Types and Downstream Applications Research Report 2025

Research Summary

Methyl isobutyl carbinol (MIBC) is a clear, colorless liquid with a mild odor. It is a versatile chemical compound that finds widespread use as a solvent and flotation frother in various industrial processes. MIBC is primarily utilized in mineral processing, specifically in the extraction of copper, lead, and zinc ores. As a flotation frother, it helps create a stable foam that carries hydrophobic particles to the surface, facilitating their separation from the ore. MIBC is also employed in the production of synthetic resins, coatings, and paints, as it acts as a solvent for certain resins and enhances their compatibility and flow properties. Additionally, it can be employed as an extraction or solvent agent for various organic compounds, such as oils, waxes, and gums. MIBC’s moderate evaporation rate, low solubility in water, and high flash point make it a favorable choice for many industrial applications. However, proper safety precautions should be followed when handling MIBC, as it is flammable and can cause skin and eye irritation if not used with caution.
