SOLANE
Hydrocarbon Solvent: Solane and Toluene Range
Adhesives are well-known and are increasingly used in a great variety of applications including the automotive industry, construction and building. These adhesives are also of particular interest to the wood/timber, furnishing, leather goods, shoes, packaging and electronic industries.
TotalEnergies is present in different markets such as:
-
Contact adhesives (used for footwear and construction assembly).
-
Pressure-sensitive adhesives (used mainly for tapes and labels)
-
Hot melt Pressure Sensitive Adhesives (PSA)
Hydrocarbon solvents are used to dissolve various types of binders and polymers and can also help to control the drying properties of adhesive solvents.
We Manufacture and Market
Aliphatic solvents, cycloaliphatic and naphthenic fluids: SOLANE range which offer formulators:
- Consistent and predictable process performance.
- The ability to meet increasingly stringent regulations while maintaining the benefits of solvent-based formulations.
- Reduced worker exposure to hazardous chemicals
Aromatic solvents for a variety of glue & adhesive formulations: TOLUENE
Health & Safety
REACH Annex XVII introduced some restrictions in using toluene and cyclohexane in adhesive solvents intended for sale to the general public (EU Directive 67/548/EC). N-hexane is also subject to labeling.
We offer solutions to avoid such restrictions by using methylcyclohexane (SOLANE MCH). Formulations can be adjusted by optimizing methylethylketone (MEK) content and/or acetate solvents to obtain the required performances.
