In my country methylethylketone costs 175 CZK = 7 EUR per 1 L analytical grade. Should cost less for pure grade. Should cost less when buying bigger
containers than 1 L bottles.

I don't know whether they ship across Europe, but deoplosmiddelspecialist.nl and laboratoriumdiscounter.nl are good.

They still sell chlorates on that site, but only to companies (you need to provide a so-called KvK-number and you need to supply a declaration of
usage). With the KvK-number they can check the nature of the company and whether the address to which the material is shipped corresponds with the
address, registered at the chamber of commerce.
So, deoplosmiddelenspecialist did not play around any law.
This company is a fine company, which does not have a very large selection of chemicals, but the things they have is of good quality and they have
good prices. Good for restocking larger quantities of solvents and basic chemicals (e.g. quantities at liter, kilo order of magnitude).

deoplosmiddelenspecialist once bounced an order of mine and returned my money without even informing me of either, because I didn't fill out the
declaration of usage.

You can buy it in Germany otc where Roofas buy Stuff for Roofing.
They sell up to 20 l Canisters MEK and also THF.
MEK is used as a Cleaner for Epoxy Coatings and the THF is for Quellschweißen dont know the English Word for.

Chemical prices plummet the moment you can buy them by the bulk. The mere packaging for 1 liter can easily cost more than the product itself.
Commodity chemicals like solvents should be available from various suppliers without too much trouble and with decent prices. However, I must admit
that getting a KvK number or business number or whatever VAT code that is in each country, helps tremendously, as B2B sales have way different
legislation than B2C.
Many businesses forbid sales to privates because they usually want to buy so small amounts, and they have all kinds of rights to return the product if
they change their mind, and there might also be liability issues. Professional users are presumed to be, well, professional and know their stuff and
be accountable for everything, but consumers are presumed to be 100% idiots who will eat every substance or use it to feed their pets, childs or lawn
unless a pile of warnings and instructions and permits are supplied.

I once bought a liter of MEK as a customer in a physical shop specialized in paint by the way. There is not really a reason why you can't buy it
everywhere besides the low demand by customers.

Apparently it has some disadvantages to consumer, it smells bad, it is only partially soluble in water, and many other solvents work as well in every
situation it would be needed.
