Product Description

Aromatic 200ND is a high-purity, naphthalene-depleted heavy aromatic solvent characterized as a complex mixture of C11-C12 aromatic hydrocarbons obtained from the distillation of aromatic streams derived from crude oil. This premium-grade solvent delivers exceptional solvency power with 98% minimum aromatic content by volume, making it highly effective at dissolving resins, polymers, and additives that require aggressive solvent systems. The “ND” (Naphthalene Depleted) designation indicates controlled naphthalene content at 1% maximum by weight, addressing environmental and workplace exposure concerns while maintaining superior performance. With a high flash point of 200°F minimum and a broad distillation range of 425-560°F, Aromatic 200ND provides significantly slower evaporation than xylene or lighter aromatic grades, enabling improved flow, leveling, and film formation in coatings and industrial formulations where extended open time and uniform drying are critical to finished product quality.

  • Ultra-High Aromatic Content: 98% minimum aromatics by volume delivers powerful solvency for dissolving challenging resins, polymers, and specialty additives.
  • Naphthalene Depleted: Controlled naphthalene content (1% maximum) supports environmentally conscious formulations and reduces regulatory and exposure concerns.
  • High Flash Point: 200°F minimum flash point provides enhanced safety margins during handling, storage, and processing compared to lighter aromatic grades.
  • Slow Evaporation Profile: Broad 425-560°F distillation range enables extended working time, superior flow characteristics, and uniform film formation.
