Isoparaffin fluid is a colorless and odorless liquid hydrocarbon solvent widely used in industrial and commercial applications.

It is a type of isoparaffinic hydrocarbon solvent, a mixture of branched-chain isoalkanes (hydrocarbons) produced from petroleum-based feedstocks.

Isoparaffin fluid is high-purity synthetic isoparaffin solvents, with narrow boiling ranges of hydrocarbon fluids and is the widely used grade in isoparaffinic hydrocarbons.

It has a low viscosity and is relatively volatile. Its low surface tension allows it to wet surfaces easily and penetrate into small crevices.

This property makes it effective for cleaning and degreasing, and it is used in a variety of industrial and consumer applications, such as metal cleaning, solvent degreasing, and rubbers surface preparation.

Additionally, it is used as a carrier in fragrances to help distribute fragrance oils and in deodorants for distributing antiperspirants and fragrances, giving a consistent scent and lasting power. In sunscreen, it is used as a solvent to help distribute active ingredients and to ensure water resistance.

In industrial applications, Isoparaffin G fluid is used in paint systems as a solvent for resins and diluent for pigments and additives, as well as a carrier for various additives like plasticizers and dyes. It is suitable for use in electronic cleaning to remove oils and contaminants from circuit boards and connectors, and as a solvent for cleaning and degreasing metal surfaces. Moreover, it is used for precision cleaning as it has a high-purity level.
