Special boiling point products

(Boiling range 35–140 °C)

Special boiling point products are mixtures of paraffinic and naphthenic hydrocarbons with a very low aromatic content, typical value < 50 ppm. By using suitable raw materials and hydrogenation processes, we are able to produce these products with only a mild odour. By varying the naphtenic content we can adjust the solvating properties.

Primary applications/processes:

  • Solvents for the printing inks industry
  • Solvents and thinners for the paints and lacquers industry
  • Solvents for rapid-drying adhesives
  • Solvents for adhesive tapes, adhesive plasters and rubber (e.g. tyres)
  • Cleaning and degreasing agents
  • Auxiliaries for textile processing
  • Extractants for the chemicals, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics and food industries (for the extraction of aromatics, vegetable oils and fats, etc.)
  • Component in the production of impregnating agents and as a reaction medium (e.g. in polymerisation)
