Solvent 150

SOLVENT 150 (178KG) – HIGH-AROMATIC, HIGH-BOILING SOLVENT WITH STRONG SOLVENCY

Solvent 150 (Aromatic 150) is an aromatic hydrocarbon solvent with high aromatic content, a medium-high boiling range and slow evaporation. It is used in paints, inks, adhesives, agrochemicals and many industrial applications.

PRODUCT INFORMATION / Introduced packaging: 178 kg/drum. The product is a flammable aromatic hydrocarbon liquid. Acceptance criteria must be based on the COA of the actual batch delivered.

1. What Is SOLVENT 150 (178KG)?

Solvent 150 (Aromatic 150) is a mixture of C9–C11 aromatic hydrocarbons with a boiling range of about 180–210°C, an aromatic content above 95% and a flash point of about 63–67°C. Thanks to its strong solvency for resins and oils and its slow evaporation, Solvent 150 is used as a solvent in paints, inks, adhesives, agrochemicals and many industrial products.

5. Instructions for Use

• Use according to the technical guidance and recommended parameters of the manufacturer.
• Blend only with materials whose compatibility has been assessed.
• Perform compatibility and small-scale tests before full-scale production.
• Check shelf life, container condition and labels before use.
• Do not mix with incompatible chemicals without a technical assessment.

6. Safety, Storage and Transportation

• Wear safety goggles, gloves, antistatic clothing and appropriate equipment when transferring or handling Solvent 150.
• Work in a well-ventilated area, avoid vapour accumulation and prolonged skin contact.
• Store in a dry, cool warehouse; keep drums on pallets and away from direct sunlight.
• Keep containers closed when not in use; keep away from open flame, sparks, static electricity and heat sources (flammable product).
• Separate from strong oxidisers and incompatible chemicals.
• Do not discharge large quantities into drains, surface water or groundwater.
• Protect cargo from rain, secure the load, avoid static build-up and keep labels intact.
• In case of eye contact, rinse with clean water for at least 15 minutes. If large amounts of vapour are inhaled, move the person to fresh air and seek medical attention.

7. Selection and Acceptance Criteria

• Verify the COA of the actual delivered batch against the technical requirements.
• Check appearance, colour, clarity and visible impurities.
• Check container condition, seals, labels and traceability information.
• Review the SDS for storage and emergency handling.
• Check homogeneity, water-insoluble matter and batch-specific parameters.
