If you think your business could benefit from this environmentally preferred chemical, then read on to discover examples of popular uses, why this chemical is beneficial, and determine if it’s right for your applications.
Let’s dive in.
What Is Isopar M Used For?
Isopar M is used in multiple ways due to its safety, effectiveness, and consistency. Common uses include:
Aerosol Products
It is a common carrier fluid in products such as air fresheners, lubricants, and household sprays. It can evenly distribute active ingredients and evaporate without leaving residue behind.
Metalworking
During metalworking, it is used as a lubricant and coolant. It reduces friction, improves finishes, and protects equipment from high heat during this process.
Cleaning Applications
Isopar M dissolves grease, oil, and overall grime while keeping the surface safe. It can be found in things like industrial degreasers, furniture polishes, and maintenance sprays.
Personal Care
This chemical can also act as a dispersant or emollient for improving product texture and performance.
Why Use It?
Isopar M is a great choice for its balance of both safety and performance:
- High flash point of approximately 97°C (per ASTM D93), therefore making it safer when used in heated or enclosed spaces.
- Has a low aromatic content (typically <0.05% by weight). This ensures reduced odor and low toxicity, great for aerosols.
- Consistent composition with a narrow boiling range for stability.
- Low surface tension and well-controlled evaporation makes it ideal for precise work.
