150ND Heavy Aromatic Solvent

Aromatic 150ND is a high-purity, naphthalene-depleted aromatic solvent characterized as a complex mixture of C9-C11 aromatic hydrocarbons obtained from the distillation of aromatic streams derived from crude oil. This versatile medium-weight aromatic solvent delivers strong solvency with 94% minimum aromatic content by volume, providing effective dissolution of resins, polymers, and additives across a wide range of industrial formulations. The “ND” (Naphthalene Depleted) designation indicates controlled naphthalene content at 1% maximum by weight, making it suitable for environmentally conscious applications including agricultural pesticide formulations where reduced naphthalene and ethylbenzene content is preferred. With a flash point of 165°F minimum, Aromatic 150ND offers a balanced evaporation profile—slower than xylene for improved flow and film formation, yet faster than heavier aromatic grades for applications requiring moderate drying times. Its water-white clarity (0.5 maximum color) ensures finished products maintain visual uniformity without haze or discoloration.

• High Aromatic Purity: 94% minimum aromatics by volume provides strong solvency power for effective resin and polymer dissolution.
• Naphthalene Depleted: Controlled naphthalene content (1% maximum) supports green chemistry initiatives and reduces environmental and regulatory concerns.
• Excellent Clarity: 0.5 maximum color (ASTM D 1500) ensures water-white appearance for applications requiring visually uniform finished products.
• Balanced Evaporation: 165°F minimum flash point provides controlled drying—slower than xylene for better flow, faster than heavy aromatics for efficient processing.
