Branched Alkyl Benzene (BAB)
EINECS number 246-772-4
///
CAS number 25265-78-5
BAB, branched alkyl benzene, (also called branched dodecylbenzene DDB) is a petrochemical produced through alkylation of benzene by propylene tetramer. It is a clear and limpid non corrosive liquid, with a high oxidative and thermal stability. Its hydrolysis stability is also very high. BAB is used in surfactant industry, plasticizer, solvent and base stock for metal working fluids like cutting oil, metal lamination, chemical intermediate synthesis, chemical additives. The combination of BAB superior thermal and lubricant

Hydrocarbon Solvents – D40 / D60 / D70 / D80 / D100 / D120 Supplier
Equilex supplies hydrocarbon solvents including D40, D60, D70, D80, D100, and D120 for industrial applications.
These grades are also referred to by various commercial names such as Shellsol D60, Isopar D60, Solvent D60, or Hydrocarbon Fluid D60, depending on the supplier or region.
These high-purity, low-odor, narrow-cut aliphatic hydrocarbons are ideal for use in coatings, inks, adhesives, cleaning agents, and industrial applications requiring controlled evaporation and low aromatic content.
What Are D-Series Hydrocarbon Solvents?
The D-series hydrocarbon solvents (D40, D60, D70, D80, D100, D120) are refined aliphatic hydrocarbons with specific boiling point ranges.
They are known under different names across the industry (e.g., Solvent D40, Shellsol D60, Isopar D70, Hydrocarbon D100), all referring to similar high-purity, narrow-cut paraffinic solvents.
Used in industrial formulations, these solvents offer performance, safety, and compliance with European regulations. All grades are REACH registered and meet high environmental and safety standards.
