Description

Naphthenes CAS NO 308068-57-7 refers to a specific class of saturated cyclic hydrocarbons, primarily cycloalkanes, which are fundamental components in various industrial chemical streams. These compounds are valued for their excellent solvency properties and chemical stability, making them crucial intermediates and process aids. They are essential for manufacturers and formulators in sectors requiring high-performance hydrocarbon fluids, including polymer processing, specialty chemical synthesis, and industrial cleaning applications.

Application

• Chemical Synthesis & Intermediates: Acts as a versatile solvent and reaction medium in organic synthesis, particularly where non-polar or low-reactivity conditions are required.
• Polymer & Plasticizer Production: Serves as a process solvent and a feedstock component in the manufacturing of polymers, resins, and certain plasticizers.
• Industrial Cleaning & Degreasing: Utilized in formulated cleaning agents and degreasers for metal parts and machinery due to its effective solvency for oils and greases.
• Specialty Fuels & Additives: Employed as a blending component or precursor in the development of high-performance fuels and fuel additives.
• Paint, Ink & Coating Formulations: Functions as a solvent or diluent in coatings where controlled evaporation rates and solvency power are critical.
• Adhesive & Sealant Manufacturing: Used as a solvent carrier to adjust viscosity and improve the application properties of various adhesive and sealant products.

Quality Control

Our Naphthenes are produced and handled under a stringent quality management system to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and reliability. Quality is verified through a series of analytical tests including chromatography (GC) for composition and purity, alongside checks for key physical parameters. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) documenting all relevant specifications is provided with each shipment to guarantee compliance with your technical requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from incompatible materials such as strong acids and oxidizing agents. Recommended storage temperature is between 15°C and 25°C. Keep containers tightly sealed when not in use to prevent evaporation and minimize moisture uptake.
