Isane® : the Isoparaffins

The ISANE range are Isoparaffinic Solvents.

Derived from a petrochemical base using catalytic synthesis, the ISANE range has a high isoparaffin content, giving it specific advantages over other aliphatic solvents of a similar cut, notably White Spirits:

  • No aromatic compounds ( < 5ppm)
  • No Benzene ( < 1ppm)
  • No odour for the heavy fractions and a very weak odour for the lighter cuts.
  • Low surface tension and high interfacial tension.
  • Low electrical conductivity
  • Very low pour point
  • Meet with FDA requirements
 

Applications for the range

The special physical properties of the ISANE® range make them suitable for many specialised applications such as:

  • Production of low odour alkyd resins for use in low odour paints
  • Odourless diluents for paints
  • Inks where indirect contact with food products is likely
  • Metalwork
  • Cutting fluids and in electrostatic discharge machining
  • Cosmetics, hand soap, sprays
  • Products for photocopiers
  • Household cleaning products
  • Odourless fuel for petroleum burners
  • Many other uses demanding the absence of odour or compliance with FDA requirements.

The products in the ISANE® range offer a comprehensive choice of solutions to meet specific needs depending on the physical properties required:

  • flash point
  • solvent power
  • evaporation rate
  • viscosity
