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.
-
Methyl ethyl ketone
Offers strong solvency and fast evaporative properties. With high purity, they are listed as a non-hazardous air pollutant under U.S. EPA regulations.
-
Isopropyl alcohol
A clear, colorless and volatile material with a light odor that possesses physico-chemical and solvency properties similar to those of ethyl alcohol, making it miscible with water and soluble in most organic solvents.
