Methylethyl ketone oxime is the organic compound with the formula C2H5C(NOH)CH3. This colourless liquid is the oxime derivative of methyl ethyl ketone. MEKO as it is called in the paint industry is used to suppress skinning of paints: the formation of a skin on paint before it is used. MEKO functions by binding the drying agents metal salts that catalyze the oxidative crosslinking of drying oils.
