Shellsol D60

ShellSol D60 is an aliphatic mineral spirit consisting predominantly of C10–C12 paraffins and naphthenes. Deep hydrogenation gives it a very low aromatic content, a negligible amount of reactive impurities and a low, sweet odour.

Features

• Aromatics approx. 100 mg/kg; benzene < 3 mg/kg; sulphur < 0.5 mg/kg
• Distillation range 189–210 °C; relative evaporation rate 0.04 (nBuAc = 1)
• Flash point 67 °C (ASTM D93); auto-ignition temperature 255 °C
• Density 0.786 kg/L at 15 °C; Kauri-Butanol value 31
• No detectable polycyclic aromatics, heavy metals or chlorinated compounds

Applications

• Solvent and diluent where a low-odour, low-aromatic aliphatic hydrocarbon is required

Notes

• Expected to remain technically stable for at least 12 months under proper storage and handling.
