What are the principal applications for Isopar Fluids, and why?
Isopar Fluids are essentially odorless with an odor detection threshold over 50 times lower than that of conventional mineral spirits. This property provides advantage and consumer acceptance in household and personal care products, odorless paints and stain blockers. Their low surface tension is critical in polishes, cleaners, and for wetting pigments in coatings and in inks. This property also reduces product foaming tendencies. The high electrical resistivity of Isopar Fluids enhances spray coverage in electrostatic coating operations. Stringent manufacturing controls eliminate olefinic and polar compounds resulting in high product purity needed in applications such as reaction diluents for polymerization and water treating processes. Their low toxicity and selective solvency make Isopar products an ideal choice for numerous specialty applications where avoidance of unwanted damage to metal surfaces or plastic packaging and worker safety are important.
