Hydrocarbon Solvent for Industrial Applications
SBP 100/140 stands for “Solvent Boiling Point 100 to 140 degrees Celsius.” It is a petroleum-based hydrocarbon solvent used in various industrial applications, including as a cleaning solvent, a carrier for chemical reactions, and a solvent in paints, coatings, and adhesives.
This solvent is a carefully formulated mixture of alkanes and cycloalkanes, selected for their boiling range between 100°C and 140°C. This gives SBP 100/140 excellent solvency power while maintaining a medium boiling point, ideal for applications that require controlled evaporation and efficient performance.
SBP 100/140 is known for its low toxicity profile compared to more hazardous solvents, making it a safer alternative in many manufacturing environments. It offers reliable performance in processes where safety, consistency, and solvency strength are required.
Key Features
- Medium boiling point (100–140°C)
- Effective solvency for oils, greases, and resins
- Low odor and low aromatics
- Suitable for cleaning, coatings, and adhesive formulations
- Consistent performance in industrial processes
- Lower toxicity compared to traditional solvents
Safe Handling
Although SBP 100/140 is considered a safer alternative to older, more toxic solvents, it should still be handled with appropriate safety measures. Use in well-ventilated areas and wear suitable protective equipment as recommended in the safety data sheet (SDS).
