Solvents

Benzene C6H6

An inert aromatic hydrocarbon from the arene group. It is a good solvent for waxes, fats, naphthalene, and other nonpolar chemical compounds. Benzene serves as a substrate for many compounds in organic synthesis. It is used, among others, for the production of:

  • plastics
  • synthetic fibers
  • dyes
  • medications
  • detergents
  • pesticides
  • It is also used in the production of aniline, phenol, acetone, and maleic anhydride.
  • A toxic and carcinogenic product.

Solvents

CYCLOPENTANE - C₅H₁₀

An organic compound belonging to the group of cyclic hydrocarbons. It is used as a solvent, in the production of polymer resins and adhesives, as well as a blowing agent in the production of polyurethane foams. It also has applications as a refrigerant.

Solvents

TOLUENE (C6H5-CH3)

other names: methylbenzene, phenylmethane. An aliphatic-aromatic hydrocarbon, a colorless liquid with a characteristic odor, flammable, insoluble in water. Obtained through the reforming reaction of crude oil or fractional distillation of coal tar. Applications:

  • For chemical synthesis (production of plastics, dyes, detergents, explosives, medicines)
  • As a fuel additive
  • For paints
  • For various types of paint thinners

Solvents

XYLENE

other names: dimethylbenzene, methyl toluene, xylol. An organic compound from the group of aromatic hydrocarbons. It usually occurs as a mixture of three isomers: meta-, ortho-, and para-. Applications:

  • For chemical synthesis (production of plastics, dyes, pharmaceuticals)
  • As a fuel additive
  • For paints
  • For various types of paint thinners

Solvents

MEK (CH3C(O)CH2CH3)

other names: methyl ethyl ketone, butanone. An organic compound from the ketone group. It is a colorless liquid with high polarity and a characteristic sharp odor. It exhibits similar properties to acetone but evaporates more slowly due to its higher boiling point. Applications:

  • For adhesives
  • For various types of paint thinners
  • For paints
  • In cleaning and degreasing agents (removes grease, paints, and most soft plastics)

Solvents

ISOPROPYL ALCOHOL (propan-2-ol)

Chemical formula: C3H7OH
Density: 0.7809 g/cm3
CAS Number: 67-63-0
EC/EINECS Number: 200-661-7
Index Number: 603-117-00-0
An organic compound from the group of aliphatic alcohols, the simplest secondary alcohol.
Isopropyl alcohol can serve as a mild solvent. Due to its ability to evaporate quickly, it is an ideal solvent used in products for cleaning delicate parts of electronic and electrical devices as well as cotton fabrics and wooden components. It is also used as a disinfectant: due to its reduction of surface tension, it exhibits greater antibacterial activity. Additionally, it is added to fuels to prevent the formation of ice crystals (ice plugs) caused by accumulated water in fuels. Finally, it is used as one of the components in products such as cosmetics and personal care products, paints and resins, as a coolant in the brewing industry, and in printing.

Solvents

N-BUTANOL (butan-1-ol)

Other names: butanol-1; NBA
Chemical formula: C4H9OH
CAS Number: 71-36-3
EC/EINECS Number: 200-751-6
An organic compound from the group of alcohols.
n-Butanol is used for the production of certain esters, the most common of which are butyl acetate and dibutyl phthalate. It is also used as a solvent for natural and synthetic resins, as well as various organic substances.

Solvents

N-PROPANOL (propan-1-ol)

Chemical formula: C3H7OH
Density: 0.804 g/cm3
CAS Number: 71-23-8
EC Number: 200-746-9
An organic compound from the group of alcohols. A transparent, colorless liquid with a sharp odor, flammable, and well soluble in water and ethanol.
