Is MIBK (CAS 108-10-1) polar or nonpolar?

Methyl isobutyl ketone MIBK is a polar aprotic solvent. It possesses a permanent dipole moment due to its carbonyl group (C=O). But the polarity is similar to ethyl acetate. Water solubility is not good compare to other ketone solvents like acetone and MEK (methyl ethyl ketone). This property makes MIBK an useful liquid-liquid extraction solvent.
