Hydrocarbon Solvent D60

Description

What is Hydrocarbon Solvent D60?

Hydrocarbon Solvent D60 is a high-quality aliphatic hydrocarbon solvent widely used in industrial formulations due to its low odor, low aromatic content, and excellent solvency power. It is a clear, colorless liquid that offers controlled evaporation and high flash point, making it safer and more stable for industrial applications.

With its versatile properties, Hydrocarbon Solvent D60 is used across coatings, inks, adhesives, cleaning solutions, and metalworking fluids. Chemex Chemicals supplies premium-grade D60 solvent sourced from trusted global manufacturers, ensuring consistent quality and performance.

Key Applications of Hydrocarbon Solvent D60

1. Coatings & Paints

D60 solvent is extensively used in industrial paints, varnishes, and protective coatings due to its controlled evaporation rate and low aromatic content, ensuring smooth application and better finish.

2. Printing Inks

Its consistent solvency and low odor make it suitable for ink formulations, helping improve print quality and stability.

3. Adhesives & Sealants

D60 enhances the flow, spreadability, and bonding efficiency of adhesive and sealant formulations.

4. Cleaning & Degreasing

With its strong solvency, Hydrocarbon Solvent D60 is widely used in industrial cleaning solutions and degreasers for removing oils, waxes, and contaminants.

5. Metalworking Fluids

It is used in metalworking formulations such as cutting oils and rust preventives due to its lubricating and protective properties.

6. Agrochemicals & Industrial Chemicals

D60 acts as a carrier solvent in agrochemical formulations and as a diluent in specialty chemical manufacturing.
