All kinds of organic solvents

Hydrocarbon solvents

These substances are divided into two categories: aliphatic and aromatic (benzene, toluene, xylene, etc.). These compounds are generally extracted from crude oil, in some cases a combination of different materials is used. For example, linear paraffins have low viscosity and branched paraffins have high viscosity and very good low temperature properties. A combination of these materials gives us a solvent with suitable viscosity and good low temperature properties. In the following, we will introduce examples of these materials and their applications.

Aliphatic

Aliphatic compounds refer to substances that do not have aromatic rings in their structure, such as alkanes, alkenes, etc.

Cyclohexanone

Cyclohexanone is a colorless or yellowish liquid. It has many uses, but it is used as a solvent to produce herbicides, cellulose, natural and synthetic resins, waxes, fats, etc.

Aromatic solvents

In the following, we will examine some aromatic solvents:

Benzene

Benzene is known as the simplest aromatic compound, and despite the harmful effects it can have on the human body, due to its special molecular structure, it is widely used. Benzene is used in the manufacture of rubber and tires, the printing and paint industry, the production of resin, glue, nylon, styrene, and in the combination of industrial solvents to remove grease and fat from various surfaces.

Toluene

Toluene is another popular aromatic compound that is most widely used as a chemical solvent in various industries. Although this substance is harmful to human health, its good properties and capabilities in dissolving various compounds have made it widely used in the production of fuels, household and industrial cleaning products, fabric and leather, grease and lubricants. and… be used.
