Hydrocarbon Solvent D120

Description

What is Hydrocarbon Solvent D120?

Hydrocarbon Solvent D120 is a high-purity, low-aromatic solvent derived from petroleum fractions. It is a clear, colorless liquid with low odor, high flash point, and excellent solvency, making it suitable for a wide range of industrial applications. Due to its narrow boiling range and controlled evaporation rate, D120 ensures consistent performance in coatings, adhesives, inks, cleaning agents, and metalworking fluids.

Its balance of solvency power, safety, and low environmental impact makes Hydrocarbon Solvent D120 a preferred choice across paints, coatings, agrochemicals, and other specialized formulations.
