Solvent Raw Material
Solvent is the general name given to chemical raw materials that have the property of dissolving or diluting another substance. It is used in liquid form in industry and acts as a carrier, solvent, or thinner in production processes. It is a fundamental input in many sectors such as chemistry, paint, coating, cleaning, and pharmaceuticals. Solvents can be organic or inorganic, depending on the structure of the raw material used.
The primary functions of solvents are as follows:
Dissolving solid or liquid substances, adjusting viscosity (flowability), ensuring the homogeneous distribution of active ingredients on surfaces, enabling rapid or controlled evaporation after application, and dissolving contaminants during cleaning and degreasing processes.
These properties directly impact production quality and application performance.

Aliphatic Solvents
- Low odor and controlled evaporation
- Widely used in the paint and varnish industry
Example use: Thinner derivatives
Aromatic Solvents
- High dissolving power
- Industrial coatings and adhesives
- Has a sharper odor
Oxygenated Solvents
- Alcohol, ketone, and ester-based
- Fast drying and strong dissolving effect
- Used in ink, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic production
Chlorinated Solvents
- Strong grease and dirt removal properties
- Metal cleaning and specialized industrial applications
- Should be used with environmental and health considerations
