RB Products, Inc. supplies aromatic solvents and synthetic hydrocarbon fluids for agriculture to formulators and manufacturers producing crop protection products, emulsifiable concentrates, and agricultural spray oils. Headquartered near Houston, Texas and established in 1996, we specialize in the processing, trading, and distribution of specialty hydrocarbon fluids built to meet the performance and regulatory requirements of the agrochemical industry.
Aromatic Solvents for Agricultural Chemicals
Aromatic solvents are among the most widely used solvents in agricultural chemical formulations. Their high solvency allows them to quickly dissolve and disperse active ingredients — including herbicides, insecticides, and fungicides — prior to field application. In emulsifiable concentrate (EC) formulations, aromatic solvents provide the lipophilic carrier phase that enables the active ingredient to emulsify upon dilution with water.
RB Products supplies a range of aromatic solvents for agricultural chemicals, including our RB Solv product line. Available grades include:
- RB Solv A170 ND — Light aromatic solvent for standard EC formulations
- RB Solv A200 ND Heavy — Heavy aromatic for high-solvency applications
- RB Solv HAD 104 — High aromatic content, low pour point
- RB Solv HAD 150 — Heavy aromatic distillate for demanding formulations
Each product is available with technical data sheets upon request.
Synthetic Hydrocarbon Fluids for Agriculture
For crop protection applications requiring low or non-detectable aromatic content, synthetic hydrocarbon fluids for agriculture provide a high-purity alternative. These fluids function as inert carrier oils in spray applications, adjuvant systems, and agricultural emulsions where aromatic content restrictions apply.
RB TrueSyn 200i is our NSF HX-1 approved synthetic isoparaffin carrier fluid with non-detectable aromatic content. It is used by agricultural formulators in:
- Crop protection spray oil formulations
- Inert carrier fluid applications requiring aromatic-free chemistry
- High-purity adjuvant and emulsion systems
- Applications governed by food-contact or organic compliance standards
TrueSyn 200i meets FDA 21 CFR 172.882 and 178.3570 standards, making it a preferred synthetic hydrocarbon fluid for agriculture applications with stringent regulatory requirements.
Why Source Agricultural Solvents from RB Products?
As a specialty hydrocarbon fluid supplier with nearly 30 years of experience, RB Products brings formulation knowledge, consistent product quality, and flexible supply to agrochemical manufacturers of all sizes. We work directly with procurement and R&D teams to identify the right solvent grade for each application — whether that is a heavy aromatic solvent for a standard EC formulation or an NSF-certified synthetic hydrocarbon fluid for an organic-compliant spray program.
Our broader product portfolio includes aliphatic solvents, naphthenic solvents, and specialty additives, giving agricultural formulators a single, qualified source for multiple hydrocarbon chemistries.
