Why buyers reach out

What goes wrong with most solvent suppliers

These are not edge cases. They happen every quarter in procurement departments across Europe — and most buyers simply accept them as normal. They are not.

Problem 01
Slow pricing that costs you deals
You ask for a price on Thursday. You get it Monday — after your customer has moved on. In volatile markets, a 3-day response window is a structural problem, not a service delay.
→ Lost margin, lost credibility with your customer
Problem 02
Wrong grade — production consequences
A flashpoint off by 5°C. An aromatic content nobody checked. A white spirit Type 1 delivered where Type 0 was needed. These are not paperwork errors — they are production incidents.
→ Downtime, reformulation costs, customer claims
Problem 03
No technical understanding on the other side
You send a spec and get a product name back. You ask about solvency power and the account manager looks it up. At some point, you start doing their job for them.
→ Wasted time, missed fit, wrong specification
Problem 04
Opaque pricing — you're negotiating blind
Without a market benchmark, you have no way of knowing whether the price you're paying reflects the market or your supplier's margin target. Quarter after quarter.
→ Systematic overpaying you can't quantify
Problem 05
Delivery reliability that forces buffer stock
When you can't trust a delivery window, you carry 30% more inventory than necessary. Working capital tied up in tanks because your supplier's logistics are unpredictable.
→ Cash flow impact, warehouse pressure
Problem 06
Single-source exposure during market tightness
When demand spikes or a refinery runs short, buyers with single-source supply find themselves on allocation or simply out. Having a second sourcing contact costs nothing — until the day it saves everything.
→ Production line exposure during shortage

If any of this sounds familiar, a second opinion on pricing takes 2 minutes.

Who is behind this

Solvent markets are volatile. Prices move. Supply tightens. Knowing when and why is the difference between a good deal and an expensive one.

Alcoris is not a brokerage directory. It is a direct channel to an experienced solvent trading professional who has been active in European hydrocarbon and oxygenate markets for over 12 years — across price spikes, logistical crises, regulatory shifts and supply shortages.

The buyers who get the best pricing in this market are not always the biggest — they are the ones with the right contacts and enough information to know what a fair price looks like. That is what this channel exists to provide.

Sourced exclusively from major European refineries and chemical producers — the same supply base that serves the world's largest chemical distributors.

Oxygenated Solvents
IPA · MEK · ETAC · Acetone · DIPE
Isopropanol 99.9% · Methyl Ethyl Ketone · Ethyl Acetate · Diisopropyl Ether
High-solvency oxygenates for formulation, cleaning and extraction. IPA is among the most price-volatile solvents in Europe — timing your purchase matters more than most buyers realise.
CoatingsCleaningAdhesives
Light Aliphatics & Pentanes
n-Pentane · Isopentane · Hexane cuts
Technical grade · Industrial use only
Low boiling point cuts for extraction, blowing agents and agrochemical formulations. Supply can tighten rapidly — lead time and sourcing flexibility are critical here.
RubberAgrochemical
SBP Cuts
Special Boiling Point cuts — 8 grades
SBP 60/95 · 80/110 · 100/140 · 120/160 and others
Narrow-cut aliphatic hydrocarbons with precise distillation ranges. Used where evaporation rate is a critical formulation variable. Standard in inks, adhesives and rubber processing.
CoatingsPrintingRubber
Dearomatized Hydrocarbons
D-Cut grades — 9 grades
D60 · D80 · D100 · D110/140 · D130 · <1% aromatics
Low aromatic fluids for applications where odour, worker exposure or VOC compliance are the deciding factor. First choice for agrochemical formulators and premium coatings.
CoatingsAgrochemicalAdhesives
White Spirit
White Spirit — 5 grades
Type 0 · Type 1 · Type 2 · Type 3 · High Flash
The workhorse of industrial solvent supply. The difference between Type 0 and Type 1 on aromatic content has real operational consequences — we carry all grades with full documentation.
CoatingsCleaningPrinting
Isoparaffinic Solvents
IP grades — 10 grades
IP40 · IP60 · IP80 · IP100 · IP130 · IP175 and others
Very low odour, high purity isoparaffinic fluids for premium coatings, polishes and sensitive applications where solvent residue or odour in the finished product is unacceptable.
CoatingsAdhesivesCleaning
Naphthenic Solvent
Naphthenic process fluids
NS 100 · NS 150
Naphthenic-base fluids for rubber compounding and speciality lubricant formulations. Consistent solvency profile with broad elastomer compatibility.
RubberCoatings
Aromatic Solvents
Toluene · Xylene · Solvent Naphtha
Toluene · Ortho/Mixed Xylene · Styrene · SN100 · SN150
High-solvency aromatic grades for resin dissolution, rubber and industrial inks. The regulatory environment around aromatics is evolving — documentation quality and supply reliability matter increasingly.
CoatingsRubberPrinting
Commodity Chemicals
Acetic Acid · Caustic Soda
Glacial Acetic Acid · NaOH 30% · NaOH 50%
Bulk commodity chemicals for industrial process and cleaning. Competitive pricing driven by sourcing relationships — not distributor margin stacking.

Before you send an enquiry

Why most buyers contact us — even with a current supplier

You don't need to be looking for a new supplier to use this channel. Most buyers who send an enquiry are not.

📊
To benchmark current pricing
If you don't know what the market is paying for the same grade, you don't know whether your price is competitive. A benchmark enquiry is not disloyalty — it is due diligence.
📦
To confirm availability before a tightening
Solvent markets can tighten with little warning. Knowing you have a second sourcing option before you need it is simply good supply chain management.
🔍
To get a technical second opinion
Sometimes you want to know if a grade substitution makes sense, or whether a spec is actually a fit. A quick answer from someone who knows the product range — free, no obligation.
🔗
To build a qualified backup contact
Single-source supply is a risk. Having a tested alternative already qualified is an asset. This channel costs nothing to explore — and the contact is there when you need it.

Frequently asked

Questions buyers ask before sending an enquiry

Within 24 hours. Most enquiries receive a response the same working day — often within a few hours. We understand that procurement has timelines, and that a slow response is itself a cost.
No. Many buyers prefer to receive a market price before identifying themselves — that is completely acceptable. We will never ask for more information than is needed to give you an accurate answer.
Yes. All enquiries are treated as strictly confidential. We understand that benchmarking or exploring alternative sourcing is a sensitive commercial activity. Your enquiry goes nowhere except to the person handling it.
We handle bulk tanker loads down to IBC and drum quantities. There is no fixed minimum — tell us your volume and we will advise the most efficient approach for your situation.
Active supply routes in Belgium, Netherlands, Luxembourg, Poland, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Romania and Hungary. Other European markets on request — contact us to discuss your location.
Exclusively from major European refineries and chemical producers — the same supply base that serves the world's largest chemical distributors. Full documentation including SDS and CoA is provided with every order.
Every enquiry is read and handled personally by a solvent trading professional with 12+ years of active experience in the European market. Not a call centre, not a chatbot, not a junior assistant. Someone who knows the difference between a D-Cut 110/140 and a white spirit Type 2 — and why that distinction matters for your process.
