Description

Alkanes, C12-14-iso- is a high-purity, branched-chain hydrocarbon mixture primarily consisting of isoalkanes in the C12 to C14 carbon range. This product matters for its excellent solvency, low odor, and high volatility, making it a superior and versatile ingredient in demanding formulations. Key industries that need this material include manufacturers of industrial and institutional cleaners, metalworking fluids, and specialty chemical intermediates.

Application

• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaners: Acts as a powerful, low-residue solvent and degreaser in heavy-duty formulations.
• Metalworking Fluids: Used as a base oil or additive in synthetic and semi-synthetic coolants and cutting fluids for its lubricity and stability.
• Chemical Intermediate: Serves as a feedstock for the production of surfactants, plasticizers, and other oleochemical derivatives.
• Specialty Solvents: Employed in adhesives, coatings, and ink formulations where fast evaporation and solvency power are required.
• Laboratory & Research: Utilized as a reference standard or extraction solvent in analytical procedures.
