SBP 40/65 LNH

In the range of SBPs, SBP 40/65 LNH is a fast evaporating hydrocarbon solvent. The solvent has undergone a high degree of carefully controlled refining that results in a consistent low level of impurities such as sulphur, olefins, benzene, polycyclic and total aromatics. Marked by the LNH designator the n-hexane content of this solvent is guaranteed below 5%. As a result of its controlled purity SBP 40/65 LNH is, for example, suitable as skin rubbing solvent.


X-55 solvent

X55 Solvent is a wide boiling range, rapidly evaporating solvent widely used in the rubber industry.


Isohexane LNH (SBP 58/62)

In the range of SBPs, Isohexane LNH is a narrow cut, fast evaporating hydrocarbon solvent. It has undergone a high degree of general refining that results in a low level of impurities such as sulphur, olefins, benzene and total aromatics. Marked by the LNH designator the n-hexane content of this solvent is guaranteed below 5%. Isohexane LNH is a solvent that is for example used in rubber and related industries.


Hexane

Hexane is a clear, colourless liquid with a faint odour. It is a stable paraffinic hydrocarbon which is highly volatile and distils over a very narrow range.


Hexane (extraction grade)

In the range of SBPs, Extraction grade Hexane is a fast evaporating hydrocarbon solvent that consists essentially of hexane isomers. A concentration of approximately 50% makes n-hexane the major component in this mixture. The high degree of carefully controlled refining results in a low level of impurities such as sulphur, olefins, benzene, polycyclic and total aromatics. Meeting the requirements of for example FAO/WHO and MAFF (UK), extraction grade Hexane may be applied in food and related industries such as in the production of edible oils.


Hexane (polymerisation grade)

In the range of SBPs, Polymerisation grade Hexane is a fast evaporating hydrocarbon solvent that consists essentially of hexane isomers. A concentration of approximately 50% makes n-hexane the major component in this mixture. The high degree of carefully controlled refining results in a low level of impurities such as sulphur, olefins benzene, total aromatics and carbonyls. Polymerisation grade Hexane is particularly suitable as polymerisation medium and the manufacture of catalysts.


ShellSol B HT

ShellSol B HT is a low odour, fast evaporating hydrocarbon solvent with n-hexane as the major component. It has undergone a high degree of general refining that results in a low level of impurities such as sulphur, olefins, benzene and total aromatics.


SBP 60/95 LNH

In the range of SBPs, SBP 60/95 LNH is a fast evaporating hydrocarbon solvent. It has undergone a high degree of general refining that results in a low level of impurities such as sulphur, olefins, benzene and total aromatics. Marked by the LNH designator the n-hexane content of this solvent is guaranteed below 5%.


ShellSol BF

In the range of SBPs, ShellSol BF is a faster evaporating hydrocarbon solvent. The solvent has undergone a high degree of general refining that results in a low level of impurities such as sulphur, olefins, benzene and total aromatics. Rubber and related industries such as adhesives are typical end uses for this solvent.


SBP 80/95 LNH

In the range of SBPs, SBP 80/95 LNH is a narrow cut, faster evaporating hydrocarbon solvent. The narrow boiling range gives the solvent its typical well-regulated drying performance. As a member of the SBP range it has undergone a high degree of general refining that results in a low level of impurities such as sulphur, olefins, benzene and total aromatics. Marked by the LNH designator the n-hexane content of this solvent is guaranteed below 5%.


SBP 80/110 LNH

In the range of SBPs, SBP 80/110 LNH is a faster evaporating hydrocarbon solvent. It has undergone a high degree of general refining that results in a low level of impurities such as sulphur, olefins, benzene and total aromatics. Marked by the LNH designator the n-hexane content of this solvent is guaranteed below 5%.


Heptane

In the range of SBPs, Heptane is a narrow-cut, medium evaporating hydrocarbon solvent. The narrow boiling range gives the solvent its typical well-regulated drying performance. As a member of the SBP range it has undergone a high degree of general refining that results in a low level of impurities such as sulphur, olefins, benzene and total aromatics.


ShellSol W HT

ShellSol W HT is a narrow cut, medium evaporating hydrocarbon solvent. The special cut gives the solvent its increased cycloparaffin content and solvency. The high degree of general refining gives this solvent its low level of impurities such as sulphur, olefins, benzene and total aromatics and low odour.


SBP 100/140

In the range of SBPs, SBP 100/140 is a slower evaporating hydrocarbon solvent. As a member of the SBP range it has undergone a high degree of general refining that results in a low level of impurities such as sulphur, olefins, benzene and total aromatics.


X-3B solvent

X3B Solvent is a wide boiling rang, medium evaporating solvent widely used in the paint industry.


X-95 solvent

X95 Solvent is a wide boiling range, medium evaporating solvent widely used in the production of resins.


VM&P Naphtha HT

VM&P Naphtha HT is a medium evaporating hydrocarbon solvent. It has an increased cycloparaffin content and hence solvency. The high degree of general refining gives this solvent its low level of impurities such as sulphur, olefins, benzene and total aromatics and low odour.


SBP 140/165

In the range of SBPs, SBP 140/165 is the slow evaporating hydrocarbon solvent. As a member of the SBP range it has undergone a high degree of general refining that results in a low level of impurities such as sulphur, olefins, benzene and total aromatics.
