Frequently Asked Questions
Which solvent is best for paint manufacturing?
Acetone, Xylene, Toluene, Butyl Acetate, and MEK are commonly used depending on the resin system, drying speed, and coating formulation.
What is the difference between IPA and Methanol?
Isopropyl Alcohol (IPA) is widely used as a cleaning and disinfecting solvent due to its lower toxicity, while Methanol is primarily used as a chemical feedstock, fuel additive, and industrial solvent. They are not interchangeable in all applications.
Do you supply food-grade solvents?
Yes. Selected products such as Monopropylene Glycol (MPG) and Isopropyl Alcohol are available in grades suitable for food, pharmaceutical, or cosmetic applications. Contact us for specific grade availability.
Can solvents be supplied in bulk?
