Special Boiling Point

Whatsapp Order

Special Boiling Point is a specialized solvent fraction characterized by a boiling range between 40°C and 60°C. It is commonly used in industries requiring solvents with low boiling points for rapid evaporation and efficient solvent action. This grade is valued for its ability to dissolve a wide range of organic compounds and is widely applied in coatings, cleaning agents, chemical synthesis, and extraction processes where controlled volatility is critical for process performance.

Description

Special Boiling Point

Primary Uses

  1. Paints, Coatings, and Inks
  • Acts as a fast-evaporating solvent in paints, varnishes, and inks to aid in smooth application and quick drying.
  • Facilitates pigment dispersion and resin dissolution in various coating formulations.
  1. Cleaning and Degreasing
  • Used in industrial and household cleaning products for removing grease, oils, and residues due to its strong solvent properties and fast evaporation.
  1. Chemical Industry
  • Serves as a solvent or extraction agent in chemical manufacturing and purification processes requiring low boiling solvents.

Secondary Uses

  1. Pharmaceuticals
  • Employed as a solvent in certain pharmaceutical preparations and processes under controlled conditions.
  1. Adhesives and Sealants
  • Used to adjust viscosity and drying times in adhesive formulations.
  1. Laboratory Applications
  • Utilized as a reference solvent for testing and analytical purposes due to its defined boiling range.
