Hydrocarbon solvents belong to a family of aliphatic solvents. They derive from petroleum refining and gas processing. Furthermore, they represent an essential class of industrial chemicals. Manufacturers rely on them as key raw materials and process solvents. Moreover, they serve many industries including polymers, rubbers, adhesives, and agrochemicals.
Key Properties
These solvents are valued across multiple industries for their versatile chemical properties, including excellent solvency for resins and polymers, low polarity, controlled evaporation rates, high chemical purity and good compatibility with a wide range of industrial processes.
Main Applications
Hydrocarbon Solvents are widely used in vegetable oil extraction, polymerisation processes, foam blowing agent formulations, rubber and elastomer manufacturing, adhesive and sealant production, as well as in paints, coatings and agrochemical formulations.
Cyclohexane, Hexane and Pentane Grades
Equilex supplies a complete range of hydrocarbon solvents to serve the specific needs of each application. Indeed, Cyclohexane serves as a key intermediate in nylon production and as a process solvent in polymer manufacturing. Furthermore, N-Hexane and Hexane Extraction grade are widely used in vegetable oil extraction and agrochemical formulations. Moreover, Hexane Polymerisation grade meets the strict purity requirements of polyolefin and rubber polymerisation processes. In addition, Normal Pentane, Isopentane, Pentane Blend 80/20 and Pentane Blend 70/30 serve as blowing agents in EPS and polyurethane foam manufacturing. Finally, Isohexane offers a versatile solvent solution for adhesive, cleaning and coating applications.
