Product overview
Unlike most hydrocarbon solvents, which are distillation ‘cuts’ from crude oil refining, Isoparaffins are synthesised (chemically made) through an alkylation process. Because the feedstock and process conditions are carefully controlled, the resulting Isoparaffin composition, structure and properties are consistent and low in impurities.
ShellSol TD has little or no odour and a very narrow, medium boiling range (among Isoparaffins) that provide a unique combination of flash point and evaporation or drying performance. Its technical properties can also impart low surface tension characteristics and high oxidation stability for paints and coatings applications.
