Product Description — D40 Dearomatized Hydrocarbon Solvent

Exxsol D40 / Recosol D40 / D-SOL 150 (D40) is a high-quality dearomatized hydrocarbon solvent engineered for industrial and professional applications. It is a low-odor, low-aromatic solvent with excellent solvency for oils, greases, coatings, and general contamination, making it a versatile choice for cleaning, thinning, degreasing, and formulation needs. 

This solvent is produced by hydroprocessing petroleum distillates to achieve a very low aromatic content (typically <0.5–1%), minimizing unpleasant odors and reducing exposure risks compared with traditional solvents like mineral spirits or white spirits. 

Key Features & Benefits

• Low-odor, low-aromatic solvent — improves workplace comfort and reduces nuisance smells. 

• Effective solvency — dissolves greases, oils, dirt, and other contaminants for efficient cleaning and degreasing. 

• Broad application range — suitable for industrial cleaning, coatings and paints, aerosols, metalworking fluids, and formulation of maintenance chemicals.

• Good material compatibility — generally compatible with plastics and rubbers due to low aromatic levels. 

• Clear, stable fluid — consistent performance with predictable evaporation characteristics. 

Typical Applications

• Industrial and mechanical cleaning (machinery, parts, tools)

• Solvent carriers for coatings, paints, and aerosols

• Degreasing and surface preparation in metalworking

• General formulation solvent in maintenance and specialty products

• Thinning and cleaning of brushes and equipment

Performance Properties (illustrative)

• Clear, colorless liquid with low odor. 

• Flash point around 40-48 °C, indicating careful handling around heat sources.

• Low aromatic content (<0.5–1%) for reduced irritation and nuisance odors.
