Introduction
Definition & Composition
Solvent Oil is a refined petroleum distillate primarily composed of aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons.
- Key Properties:
- Low viscosity (typically 1–10 cSt at 40°C)
- High solvency power
- Low toxicity (non-carcinogenic grades)
- Flash point >60°C (non-flammable variants)
Types & Grades
| Type | Boiling Range (°C) | Key Applications |
|---|---|---|
| Light Aliphatic | 150–200 | Paint thinners, degreasers |
| Aromatic-Rich | 180–300 | Ink formulations, rubber processing |
| Naphthenic | 200–350 | Metalworking fluids, lubricant additives |
| De-aromatized | 180–280 | Eco-friendly solvents (low VOC) |
Key Performance Metrics
| Parameter | Test Method | Typical Value |
|---|---|---|
| KB Value | ASTM D1133 | 30–100 (measures solvency) |
| Aniline Point | ASTM D611 | 60–120°C (indicates aromaticity) |
| Evaporation Rate | ASTM D1901 | 0.1–3.0 (n-butyl acetate=1) |
Industrial Applications
| Industry | Use Case | Example Product |
|---|---|---|
| Coatings | Carrier for resins in paints | Mineral spirits |
| Printing | Vehicle for pigments in inks | Hi-flash naphtha |
| Lubricants | Base oil for penetrating oils | ISO VG 5 solvent oil |
| Cleaning | Precision equipment degreasing | Stoddard solvent |
