Product Description

Isoparaffin C11-12: High-Purity Solvent for Industrial Applications

Isoparaffin C11-12 is a high-purity, branched-chain aliphatic hydrocarbon solvent known for its low odor, low toxicity, and excellent solvency characteristics. It is widely used across a range of industries including personal care, pharmaceuticals, paints & coatings, industrial cleaning, and adhesives. With its exceptional safety profile and performance attributes, Isoparaffin C11-12 has become a preferred choice for manufacturers seeking environmentally responsible and efficient solvents.

What is Isoparaffin C11-12?

Isoparaffin C11-12 is part of the isoparaffinic hydrocarbon family, specifically composed of C11 and C12 chain length molecules. These hydrocarbons are derived from petroleum and undergo rigorous hydrogenation and purification processes to ensure high quality and consistent performance. The result is a colorless, odorless, low-aromatic solvent with minimal environmental and health hazards.
