Industrial manufacturers require performance, flexibility, and sustainability. Shell Chemicals offers a portfolio of conventional and sustainable hydrocarbon solvents to help your customers achieve their goals.
Inside Solvents: hydrocarbon
Dearomatized hydrocarbon solvents
Dearomatized hydrocarbon solvents contain an extremely wide range of solvents, having flash points in the range of 35掳C up to 120掳C with numerous product and process applications.
Aromatic solvents
A versatile group of high boiling, highly aromatic grades.
Isoparaffins - synthetic hydrocarbon solvents
Isoparaffins are produced with controlled feedstocks and process conditions resulting in consistent composition, structure and performance and low levels of impurities.
Pentanes 鈥� aliphatic hydrocarbon solvents
Pentane is a high purity aliphatic hydrocarbon solvent primarily used as propellants in aerosols, as blowing agents in foams and as reaction media in polymerisation processes.
Special boiling point solvents
Special boiling point (SBP) solvents are versatile fast to medium evaporating aliphatic hydrocarbon fluids with very low impurities and aromatics content and narrow boiling ranges.
