| What are Norpar Fluids?
Norpar Fluids are normal paraffins that have been extracted from complex hydrocarbon streams and fractionated into desired volatility ranges.

| What makes Norpar Fluids unique among hydrocarbon fluids?
Heavier Norpar Fluids (Norpar 12 Fluid and above) are high-purity hydrocarbon fluids with low odors and low orders of toxicity. When compared to mixed hydrocarbon fluids in the same volatility range, they have the lowest viscosity, density, surface tension, solvency and photochemical reactivity, along with the fastest biodegradation rate and the greatest penetration ability.

| What are the typical applications for Norpar Fluids?
The higher volatility Norpar 5 Grades are used in consumer aerosol products. Heavier Norpar Fluids are used in food-grade lubricants and penetrating oils, consumer products, coatings, reaction diluents for polymerization processes and other applications.

| How pure are Norpar Fluids?
Norpar Fluids contain more than 97 weight percent normal paraffins. The grade number indicates the most abundant normal paraffin in the product; e.g., n-tetradecane is the main component of Norpar 14 Fluid. Other significant components are normal paraffins with slightly lower and slightly higher carbon numbers. Total aromatics concentrations for Norpar 12, 13, and 14 Fluids are all less than 0.03 weight percent.
