Description

Alkanes, C10-13, Aromatic Free, Desulfurised is a highly refined, narrow-cut paraffinic hydrocarbon solvent defined by its specific carbon chain length and stringent purity profile. This product matters for industrial applications requiring exceptional chemical stability, low odor, and minimal reactivity, as the removal of aromatics and sulfur compounds eliminates key sources of contamination and unwanted side reactions. It is needed by formulators and manufacturers in the specialty chemical, polymer, and lubricant industries where a clean, inert, and reliable hydrocarbon base is critical for product performance and consistency. CAS No. 68991-49-1.

Application

• As a high-purity reaction medium or solvent in specialty chemical synthesis where inert conditions are paramount.
• As a primary component in the formulation of high-performance lubricants and metalworking fluids, providing excellent viscosity properties and oxidation stability.
• As a plasticizer and processing aid in polymer and elastomer production to improve flexibility and processing characteristics.
• As a carrier fluid or diluent in agricultural chemicals, adhesives, and sealants.
• As a cleaning and degreasing agent in precision industrial cleaning applications.
• As a base stock for specialty oils and fluids used in transformers, heat transfer systems, and hydraulic applications.
• In the production of chlorinated paraffins and other hydrocarbon derivatives.

Quality Control

Our Alkanes, C10-13, Aromatic Free, Desulfurised is produced under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure it meets precise specifications for hydrocarbon distribution, aromatic content, sulfur levels, and key physical properties. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting these results are provided as a standard commitment to supply chain transparency and product reliability.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat, sparks, and open flame. 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 acids and oxidizing agents.
