Dearomatized Hydrocarbon Fluid (D-80 & D-60)
Dearomatized Hydrocarbon Fluid (D-80 & D-60)
Dearomatized Hydrocarbon Fluids (D-80 & D-60) are high-purity petroleum solvents designed for industrial applications that require low aromatic content, controlled evaporation rates, and excellent chemical stability. These fluids are widely used in coatings, chemical processing, cleaning solutions, and manufacturing industries where safer and cleaner solvent systems are required.
Manufactured by Mashal Chemical, a key industrial division operating under MERCO Group Bahrain, these hydrocarbon fluids are produced using advanced refining and hydrogenation technologies that significantly reduce aromatic compounds while maintaining strong solvency performance.
D-80 and D-60 grades are specially formulated to deliver consistent industrial performance, improved environmental characteristics, and reliable compatibility with various chemical formulations.
Dearomatized Hydrocarbon Fluids are refined petroleum solvents that undergo specialized treatment processes to remove aromatic hydrocarbons. This process produces a cleaner solvent with lower odor, improved stability, and reduced environmental impact compared to conventional hydrocarbon solvents.
The D-60 and D-80 grades differ primarily in their boiling ranges and evaporation characteristics, allowing industries to select the most suitable grade depending on application requirements.
D-60 – Medium evaporation rate suitable for coatings, chemical processing, and cleaning applications.
D-80 – Slower evaporation rate designed for industrial formulations requiring extended working time and controlled drying.
