100–140 Dearomatized Solvent: Price, Spec & SDS

Ultra-low-aromatic light narrow-cut, boiling range 98–140°C, aromatics max 0.01 wt%. Lighter than D30 and typically evaluated where the process requires both a specific light distillation profile and near-isoparaffinic aromatic purity together.

We help industrial buyers validate whether supply, documentation and pricing are actually workable, before internal approval or ordering.

Market reality: supply of light narrow-cut grades is not always available on demand. Availability is not guaranteed and depends on allocation, route and timing. Pricing and availability are confirmed case by case.
Important for this grade: no flash point is stated in the supplied specification. With an IBP of 98°C, this is a light, fast-evaporating grade that requires specific handling classification and transport review. In practice: buyers typically request the SDS alongside the specification at the start of the discussion to avoid approval delays from missing flash point data.

Market reality

Why serious buyers validate this grade early: instead of assuming it will work

Most failed or delayed enquiries in this category come from handling classification gaps, documentation issues or mismatched grade selection, not from the first price discussion.

01

Flash point gap

No flash point is stated in the supplied specification. A grade with an IBP of 98°C requires specific handling and transport classification review before any approval or ordering discussion can proceed. Requesting the SDS at the start is the fastest path to a usable answer.

02

Wrong grade chosen

The 100–140 designation is a boiling-range grade, not a flash-point class. Buyers should confirm the actual process need, aromatic purity, evaporation profile, or both, before committing to this specific cut rather than D30, SBP or isoparaffinic alternatives.

03

Approval friction

First orders in this category often stop at the SDS, transport classification or internal compliance gate. Getting the current documentation early is the fastest path to a real order, not the price discussion.

04

Availability

This is a speciality narrow-cut grade. Availability is not guaranteed and depends on allocation, timing and supply route. Early commercial validation, including documentation, avoids delays once the technical approval is complete.

Grade position

A boiling-range grade with near-isoparaffinic purity: not a classic D-cut label

The 100/140 designation refers to the distillation range, not a flash-point family. With an initial boiling point of 98°C and a dry point of 140°C, this grade sits lighter than the standard D-cut family, lighter than D30, which has an IBP of ~130°C. Its defining characteristic is not the boiling range alone but the combination of that range with an extremely low aromatic content of max 0.01 wt%.

That places this grade in a different commercial discussion than high-flash dearomatized grades like D80 or D100. Buyers typically review it when the application demands both a specific light distillation profile and near-isoparaffinic aromatic purity, for example in precision cleaning, electronic-grade applications or formulations where even D30-level aromatic content is not acceptable.

The actual specification and SDS always govern, and equivalent materials may be offered under different commercial names by different producers. Always compare the actual specification, not naming alone.

Grade fit

When this 100–140 route usually makes sense: and when it does not

This grade matters most when both a specific light boiling range and near-isoparaffinic aromatic purity are required together. It should be chosen because the specification fits, not because the name sounds approximately right.

01

Choose this route when

The application requires a 98–140°C narrow-cut hydrocarbon with aromatic content well below 0.1 wt%, and a standard D30 or D40 does not meet the purity requirement or the distillation window.

02

Consider D30 or SBP cuts when

D30's ~0.005 wt% aromatic limit already meets the purity requirement, or a lighter SBP-type cut with a different boiling range fits the process better. See the SBP cuts guide.

03

Consider isoparaffinics when

The application requires not just low aromatics but a fully isoparaffinic hydrocarbon structure, which brings different solvency and evaporation characteristics. See the isoparaffinic solvents page.

04

Always verify

Flash point, transport classification, site handling rules and full SDS review are required before approval. Grade name alone is never sufficient for a first order in this category.

Before going further: the most common reason enquiries in this category stall is the absence of flash point data at the first review stage. Requesting the current SDS alongside the specification at the start of the discussion avoids the most frequent source of delay.

Applications

Where this type of ultra-low-aromatic narrow-cut solvent is commonly discussed in industrial use

The actual fit depends on the approved specification and intended use. These are the discussions where buyers most often review this type of route, driven primarily by aromatic purity rather than flash point.

Precision cleaning

High-purity cleaning and degreasing

Reviewed where aromatic content limits are strict and a narrow boiling range with fast, controlled evaporation is part of the cleaning specification.

Electronics

Electronic and optical cleaning

Ultra-low aromatic grades in this boiling range can appear in electronics cleaning and precision optical applications where contamination from aromatic residues is a concern.

Coatings

Specialist coatings and lacquers

Relevant in formulations where a light, fast-evaporating dearomatized carrier with near-isoparaffinic purity is required and standard D30 aromatics are not acceptable.

Aerosols

Aerosol and spray carrier systems

Can appear in aerosol discussions where low aromatics and a specific light distillation profile are both formulation requirements.

Printing

Ink and printing discussions

Reviewed in certain ink and printing formulations where the combination of aromatic purity and controlled evaporation within a defined boiling window is relevant.

Process fluids

Carrier and diluent applications

Used as a carrier or diluent in process applications where extremely low aromatic content is a product quality or regulatory requirement.

Substitution

Isoparaffinic substitution review

Often reviewed alongside isoparaffinic solvents when the aromatic purity requirement is near-isoparaffinic but the specific distillation range or cost structure differs.

Supply continuity

Alternative sourcing discussions

Also relevant for buyers who already have a route and want a second sourcing discussion for continuity or benchmarking purposes.

Buying checklist

What serious buyers usually check before sending an RFQ or opening internal approval

The fastest route to a good decision is to validate aromatic purity, distillation fit, flash point classification and documentation before going too deep into the commercial side.

Is the 0.01 wt% aromatic limit actually required? If D30 (~max 0.005 wt%) or D40 (~max 0.10 wt%) already meets the aromatic purity requirement, this grade may add complexity without proportional benefit. If 0.01 wt% is the right level, confirm it is achievable from the available supply route.
Has the flash point been confirmed from the SDS? No flash point is stated in the supplied specification. This is the most important first step before any site handling, transport or approval discussion can proceed.
Does the 98–140°C boiling range fit the process? This is the lightest cut discussed on this site. Fast evaporation, specific residue behaviour and compatibility with process temperatures should all be reviewed before approval.
Will the available documentation support approval? First orders in speciality narrow-cut grades frequently stop at the SDS, transport classification or internal compliance review, not at price.
Is the packaging route practical given transport classification? Bulk, IBC and drums each have different transport and handling logistics. For a light, low-flash-point hydrocarbon grade, this review is not cosmetic.
Useful adjacent discussions: buyers often review this grade alongside D30, isoparaffinic solvents or SBP cuts. The right answer depends on the required aromatic purity, distillation profile, flash point tolerance and the documentation that will actually be approved in your process.

Why Alcoris

Why buyers involve Alcoris instead of relying on generic product pages

A useful answer in this category must be commercially executable, not merely descriptive.

Supply routes

Multiple European sourcing discussions

Alcoris works with multiple European supply routes, which helps produce a realistic first answer on availability, timing and route, including for speciality ultra-low-aromatic grades where allocation matters.

Documentation

Spec and SDS from the start

For grades where documentation drives the approval process, getting current spec and SDS into the discussion early is the most valuable first step, not the price.

Execution

Practical route review

Bulk versus IBC versus drums is not cosmetic. For light narrow-cut grades it changes cost, transport classification, handling logistics and whether the discussion can become an order.

FAQ

Questions buyers ask before sending an enquiry or starting internal approval

What is a 100–140 dearomatized hydrocarbon solvent?

It is a narrow-range dearomatized hydrocarbon solvent identified by its distillation profile, with an initial boiling point of ~98°C and a dry point of ~140°C. Its main differentiator is an exceptionally low aromatic content of max 0.01 wt%, placing it alongside the cleanest dearomatized grades available. The current quoted specification and SDS always govern.

Why is no flash point stated in the specification?

The supplied sales specification does not include a flash point value. Given the boiling range starts at ~98°C, this is a light, fast-evaporating grade that requires specific handling and transport classification review. Buyers must confirm the flash point from the actual SDS before any approval, handling or transport discussion.

How does this compare to D30 or isoparaffinic solvents?

D30 has an IBP of ~130°C, a dry point of ~166°C and an aromatic content of ~max 0.005 wt%, lower aromatics but a heavier boiling range. The 100–140 cut has a lighter boiling range but slightly higher aromatic limit at 0.01 wt%. Isoparaffinic solvents offer a different hydrocarbon structure with different solvency characteristics. The right comparison depends on the actual process requirement.

Do you provide current specification and SDS?

Yes. Current sales specification and SDS can be shared during the quotation process, subject to the actual supply route and available producer documentation. Given the flash point situation, requesting the SDS at the start of the discussion is strongly recommended.

Is a 100–140 cut always available in Europe?

No. Availability is not guaranteed and depends on allocation, timing and supply route. For speciality narrow-cut grades, early commercial validation, including documentation review, avoids the most common cause of delayed first orders.

Can it be supplied in bulk, IBC or drums?

Yes, depending on volume, route and current supply position. For a light hydrocarbon with transport classification implications, packaging logistics require specific review. All practical route details are confirmed at quotation stage.
