Key Applications:

This Isoparaffin is highly versatile and used in a wide range of industries:

  • Paints & Coatings – Acts as a low-odor solvent with excellent spreading and drying properties, ensuring smooth film formation.

  • Industrial Cleaning & Dry Cleaning – Provides effective cleaning power while being gentle on sensitive garments & surfaces due to its low reactivity.

  • Special Lubricants – Used as a base fluid or diluent in specialized lubricant formulations for machinery and equipment.

  • Reaction Diluents – Serves as a stable and inert medium in chemical reactions requiring controlled solvency.

  • PVC Plastisols – Improves plasticity and processability in PVC plastisol applications.

  • Metal Forming – Functions as a lubricating and cooling agent, reducing friction and wear in metalworking.

 

Comparison with Other Isoparaffin Grades

Chemex Chemicals supplies multiple grades of Isoparaffinic Hydrocarbons, including:

  • Isoparaffin G – Lower boiling range (Around 160°C to 185°C) & Lower Flash Point (Around 40°C)

  • Isoparaffin H – Low boiling range (Around 171°C to 191°C) & Low Flash Point (Around 46°C)

  • Isoparaffin L – Medium Controlled boiling range (Around 185°C to 215°C) & Medium Flash Point (Around 62°C)

  • Isoparaffin M – Higher boiling range (Around 220°C to 260°C) & High Flash Point (Around 92°C)

Choosing the right grade depends on the application requirements, boiling range, and solvency power. Our technical team can help you select the best fit.

    I was using Isopar (Isopar L) before, but after using this product I feel this is a perfect alternative / replacement of Isopar L in our application. Quality Equivalent to Isopar L. Very good performance.
