Solvents by Asian Organics
Solvents are among the most versatile products derived from petroleum and petrochemicals. They are liquids capable of dissolving, dispersing, or extracting other substances without altering their chemical nature. Widely used in industrial, commercial, and domestic sectors, solvents play a key role in coatings, pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, adhesives, cleaning agents, and specialty chemicals.
At Asian Organics, we supply high-quality solvents tailored to meet the demands of diverse industries. Our solvents are produced and refined to exact specifications, ensuring consistency, purity, and performance across applications.
Properties of Solvents
Solvents exhibit unique physical and chemical characteristics that make them indispensable in modern industries:
- Appearance: Clear, volatile liquids with distinct or mild odor (depending on type).
- Volatility: Evaporate at controlled rates, critical in drying and curing processes.
- Polarity: Range from non-polar (hydrocarbon solvents) to polar (oxygenated solvents), ensuring compatibility with different solutes.
- Purity: High refining standards ensure minimal contaminants and consistent performance.
Versatility: Can act as carriers, diluents, or reaction media.
