Additives – Fuels and lubricants
In gasoline and diesel fuels, ExxonMobil Chemical fluids carry the active ingredients of additive formulations to meet fuel specifications and enhance performance. These fluids also serve as carriers for chemical packages used in refining processes, such as foamers, demulsifiers, and corrosion and fouling inhibitors.
Applications and benefits
- The aromatic content of Solvesso™ fluids is typically above 99 percent, and they are available in three boiling ranges with varying volatility
- High flash points to meet transporting and storage regulations, as well as reduce shipping costs for finished products
- High solvency power to allow high concentration of active ingredients
- Available in naphthalene-depleted grades to minimize labeling requirements
Product solutions
-
Heavy aromatic solvents
Solvesso™ aromatic fluids, branded under ExxonMobil™ aromatic fluids in the U.S., are heavy aromatic grades with high solvency and controlled evaporation characteristics that make them versatile performers in many industrial and agricultural applications.
-
Branched alcohols
Exxal™ alcohols are branched, primary alcohols used to synthesize surfactants, polymer additives, lube and fuel additives, adhesives, and other industrial products.
-
Dearomatized hydrocarbon solvents
Exxsol™ fluids maintain good solvency characteristics for a wide variety of applications.
-
Synthetic isoparaffins
Isopar™ solvents are high-purity synthetic isoparaffins with consistent and uniform quality, thanks to selected feedstocks and controlled manufacturing processes. They deliver the narrowest boiling ranges for hydrocarbon fluids.
