Isoparaffin Solvent Supplier in Malaysia
- Also known as
- Isoparaffinic Solvent
- Isoparaffin
- Isoparaffinic Hydrocarbon
- Isoparaffinic Fluid
Isoparaffin solvent is a low-odour, low-aromatic hydrocarbon fluid used where buyers need a defined solvent evaporation profile. ChemTrade handles enquiries from Malaysian manufacturers seeking isoparaffin solvent for a specified boiling range, flash point, application and quantity.
Isoparaffinic solvent is a mixture of synthetic branched-chain isoalkanes, not one chemical with a universal CAS number or formula. Commercial grades range from light, fast-evaporating cuts through medium grades to heavy, slow-evaporating cuts, with technical and cosmetic-grade requirements defined by their individual specifications.
Applications include precision and electronics cleaning, metal degreasing, coatings, inks, adhesives, aerosol carriers, personal-care formulations, agrochemical formulations and industrial process fluids. Grade selection should be based on the required boiling range, flash point, evaporation rate, odour and supporting documentation rather than on the family name alone.
Send the intended application, target properties, quantity and delivery location with your enquiry. Availability, packing and documentation are confirmed with the quotation so the offered isoparaffin solvent grade can be assessed against the buyer's formulation or process requirements.

Isoparaffin Solvent applications
Common questions about isoparaffin solvent
How do I choose an isoparaffin solvent grade?
Specify the required boiling range, flash point and evaporation rate, plus the formulation or cleaning use. These criteria distinguish light, medium and heavy isoparaffinic solvent grades.
Is isoparaffin solvent a single chemical?
No. It is a mixture of synthetic branched-chain isoalkanes, and grades are defined by properties such as boiling range and flash point rather than a single molecular formula or universal CAS number.
Is isoparaffin solvent the same as kerosene or white oil?
No. Isoparaffinic solvents are low-odour, low-aromatic solvent cuts with a defined narrow boiling range. Kerosene is a different hydrocarbon cut, while white oil is a heavier non-volatile mineral oil.
Can I request a cosmetic grade isoparaffin fluid?
Yes, submit the required cosmetic specification, intended use, quantity and document requirements for quotation. Grade suitability and supporting documents are confirmed against the offered material.
Can I enquire using a familiar isoparaffin brand name?
Yes, a familiar brand or series name can help communicate the expected boiling and evaporation profile. The quotation will identify the actual offered grade and specification without implying supply of that brand.
What information is needed for an isoparaffin solvent quotation?
Provide the target boiling range, flash point, evaporation rate, application, quantity and delivery location. Packing and documentation are confirmed with the quotation.
