SOLVENTS

Solvents are used to dissolve, suspend or extract other materials, usually without chemically changing either the solvents or the other materials.

​

Many different solvents are used in a wide variety of everyday product applications – from paint, personal care products and pharmaceuticals, to pesticides, cleaners and inks. Without solvents, many products we rely on would not perform as well.

​

We offer the below different type of solvent :- 

  • Acetone

  • Butyl Cellosolve

  • Biocides

  • Methyl Isobutyl Ketone

  • White Spirit ( Odourless / Technical )

  • Butyl Carbitol

  • Methyl Ethyl Ketone

  • Toluene

  • Xylene

​

​

Solvents can be classed as organic or inorganic materials.

Water, the simplest and most abundant solvent on earth is classed as an inorganic solvent as its chemical structure does not contain carbon.

Organic solvents (containing carbon) are classified by their chemical structure, of which there are three main types;

  • Hydrocarbon solvents (aliphatic and aromatic)

  • Oxygenated solvents (alcohols, ketones, aldehydes, glycol ethers, esters, glycol ether esters)

  • Halogenated solvents (chlorinated and brominated hydrocarbons)
