What is Solvent 150?

Solvent 150—also known as Heavy Aromatic Solvent or Aromatic Hydrocarbon Solvent—is a slow-evaporating hydrocarbon fluid used in various industries including coatings, adhesives, rubber, and agrochemicals. It’s heavier than Solvent 100, with a higher flash point and boiling range, making it ideal for high-solids and slower-drying applications.
