Organic Solvent

Definition:
Organic solvents are chemicals used to dissolve or dilute other materials, typically organic compounds, in various industrial and commercial applications.

Technical Description:
Organic solvents are carbon-based chemicals that have low boiling points and are able to dissolve a wide range of substances. They can be aliphatic (e.g., acetone, ethanol) or aromatic (e.g., toluene, benzene). Their polarity and molecular structure allow them to dissolve specific substances in manufacturing processes.

Uses:
Used in paints, coatings, adhesives, pharmaceuticals, and in laboratories for extracting or dissolving other chemicals.

Specs:

• Flashpoint: Varies by solvent
• Boiling point: Varies depending on solvent (50–200°C)
• Applications: Paints, coatings, pharmaceuticals.
