SB (Special Boiling Point 80-110)
SB (Special Boiling Point 80-110) is a specialized solvent fraction characterized by a boiling range between 80°C and 110°C. It is commonly used as an intermediate or solvent in chemical manufacturing, extraction processes, and industrial cleaning applications. Due to its controlled boiling point range, SB is valued for its effectiveness in dissolving specific compounds, facilitating separation processes, and serving as a carrier solvent in coatings and formulations. This grade ensures consistent performance where precise volatility and evaporation rates are critical.
Primary Uses
Chemical Industry
Used as a solvent in the synthesis of chemicals and intermediates requiring a controlled boiling range.
Employed in extraction and purification processes where selective solubility and evaporation rates are needed.
Paints, Coatings, and Inks
Acts as a carrier solvent to dissolve resins and pigments in paints, coatings, and printing inks.
Facilitates smooth application and controlled drying times in finishing processes.
Cleaning and Degreasing
Used in industrial cleaning formulations for degreasing metal parts and equipment due to its solvent properties and appropriate evaporation rate.
Secondary Uses
Pharmaceutical Industry
Utilized as a solvent or intermediate in pharmaceutical synthesis under controlled conditions.
Adhesives and Sealants
Incorporated in adhesive formulations to adjust viscosity and evaporation characteristics.
Laboratory Use
Used as a solvent in analytical procedures and research requiring precise boiling range solvents.
