LPA 170 Mixture of hydrotreated isoparaffins and naphthenics Sasol-Condea Solvents ADHESIVE LPA ® Solvents Description LPA ® Solvents are high-purity mixtures of hydrotreated isoparaffins and naphthenics with very low levels of aromatics. These solvents are clear liquids with mild odor and high solvency. The unique process used to manufacture these solvents produces low levels of normal paraffins. Consequently, LPA ® Solvents have higher solvent strengths and lower freeze points than competitive low-aromatic solvents with equivalent boiling ranges. LPA ® Solvents qualify for use in a wide variety of food-related applications where only very low levels of polynuclear aromatics can be tolerated. Several LPA ® Solvents also qualify for exemptions from both EPA and California Air Resources Board (CARB) regulations governing volatile organic compound (VOC) content in consumer products. This enables formulators to continue using aliphatic hydrocarbon solvents in their products with little or no need for reformulation. LPA-170 Solvent This is an excellent process solvent, particularly in the production of polymer emulsions and in mining solvent extraction processes. Its higher flash point and narrow boiling range also allows this solvent to perform well in metal lubricants and in specialty coatings applications. High-purity, mixture of hydrotreated isoparaffins and naphthenics. Used as a solvent in numerous food contact related applications such as adhesives. Possesses very low level of aromatics and mild odor. Offers high solvent strength and low freeze point. Provides high flash point and narrow boiling range.
