Description

Shellsol CAS NO 12676-97-0 is a high-purity, highly volatile hydrocarbon solvent blend, primarily composed of isoparaffins and naphthenes. Its consistent composition and excellent solvency power make it a critical component for formulations requiring rapid evaporation and low residual odor. This solvent is essential for manufacturers in the coatings, adhesives, and industrial cleaning sectors who demand reliable performance and supply chain stability.

Application

• Industrial Coatings & Inks: Acts as a key solvent in high-performance spray paints, lacquers, and printing inks where fast drying times are crucial.
• Adhesive Formulation: Used as a carrier solvent in contact adhesives and sealants, facilitating application and ensuring proper film formation.
• Metal Degreasing & Cleaning: An effective component in vapor degreasing and cold cleaning formulations for precision metal parts.
• Chemical Synthesis & Extraction: Serves as a reaction medium or extraction solvent in various organic synthesis processes.
• Agricultural Formulations: Employed as a carrier in pesticide and herbicide concentrates.
• Rubber & Polymer Processing: Used as a diluent or processing aid in the manufacture of synthetic rubbers and polymers.

Quality Control

Our Shellsol CAS NO 12676-97-0 is produced under a stringent quality management system. Each batch is tested against rigorous internal specifications to ensure consistency in key parameters such as distillation range, aromatic content, and evaporation rate. While it is an industrial-grade solvent, production adheres to principles of good manufacturing practice. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing batch-specific results is available upon request to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat, sparks, and open flames. Due to its highly volatile nature, keep container tightly sealed when not in use to prevent evaporation and maintain purity. Recommended storage temperature is 15-25°C. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents.
