Aromatic Solvents Manufacturer

Aromatic Distillate & Fluids Manufacturer 

RB Products is a leading manufacturer and supplier of light and heavy aromatic aerosol solvents.  Aromatic solvents, or solvents containing an aromatic hydrocarbon, can be used for a vast amount of applications requiring high solvent power. Our aromatic solvents, including Aromatic 150, Aromatic 200, and Aromatic 104, are commodity-based solvents used by many different market segments and industries.  RB Solv prime aromatics are >99% aromatics.

Heavy Aromatic Solvents

RB Products aromatic solvents follow the Kauri Butanol value to measure their high solvency levels. RB’s range of Heavy aromatic distillates, or HAD, provides an economical source of high KB solvency. HAD is a product of the ethylene production that contains roughly 70% aromatics in accordance with ASTM D-1319. You can preview the complete list of testing methods, applications, and benefits of our RB Solv HAD below.

Applications and Industries

•  Aresol solvents typically used as for active ingredients, typically in emulsifiable concentrates, and as coatings, in the form of a solvent for architectural and industrial industries. It can also be used as adhesives and sealants.
• It can be found in the Automotive, Agriculture, Building and Construction, and other industrial areas.

Our Manufacturing Process

As a full-scale aromatic solvents manufacturer, RB Products controls every stage of production to ensure the highest levels of quality and performance. Our process begins with the careful selection of premium feedstocks, sourced from reliable refinery streams known for their purity and stability.

These feedstocks move through precision distillation and fractionation systems that separate and refine the aromatic hydrocarbons into tightly defined boiling ranges. Each grade is further processed to achieve the desired balance of solvency, volatility, and flash point characteristics that our customers require.

Our modular hydrogenation unit allows us to adjust color, odor, and stability for specialized applications. This flexibility allows us to create standard and custom aromatic fluids that perform consistently across coatings, industrial, and oilfield formulations.

We test every batch in our in-house laboratory to confirm compliance with customer specifications and industry standards. From incoming raw materials to finished product inspection, our quality assurance process verifies critical properties such as Kauri-Butanol value, flash point, aromatic content, and distillation range.

Through this rigorous manufacturing approach, RB Products delivers aromatic solvents that meet demanding industrial standards and perform reliably in every application.

Benefits of RB Aromatic Solvents

RB Products produces aromatic solvents that balance performance, safety, and consistency for numerous industries. As a specialized aromatic solvents manufacturer, we focus on delivering formulations that meet the exacting standards of our customers. Our product benefits include:

High Solvency Strength

Our aromatic fluids provide strong solvency power, effectively dissolving resins, polymers, and additives that require more aggressive solvent systems. High Kauri-Butanol values allow formulators to achieve excellent clarity, flow, and dispersion.

Controlled Volatility

We refine each aromatic grade to maintain a consistent evaporation profile. This ensures uniform drying and film formation, whether you need a fast-evaporating solvent for coatings or a slower one for heavy-duty industrial products.

Consistent Quality and Purity

We maintain tight control over aromatic content and boiling range, producing a solvent that performs the same way in every batch. Our in-house and third-party testing verify key performance metrics for predictable results across manufacturing runs.

Safety and Handling Performance

Many of our aromatic solvents offer higher flash points, reducing risks in production, storage, and transportation. The clean, stable nature of our aromatic fluids also minimizes odor and discoloration in finished products.

Versatility Across Formulations

Our solvent portfolio supports a variety of end uses, offering flexibility for formulators developing products with specific performance or regulatory targets.

Reliable Supply and Support

RB Products ensures dependable product availability, technical guidance, and logistics coordination. Customers can rely on consistent delivery schedules and responsive support from a trusted manufacturing partner.

Applications & Industries for Aromatic Solvents

RB Products' line of aromatic solvents and aromatic fluids is used across numerous industries where reliable solvency, controlled evaporation, and chemical stability are essential. We engineer each grade to meet specific formulation needs, whether it's flow and leveling in coatings, solubility in adhesives, or compatibility in oilfield treatments.

Paints, Coatings & Inks

Our aromatic solvents dissolve resins, control viscosity, and promote even film formation. They help achieve consistent gloss, smooth finish, and proper flow in industrial coatings, automotive paints, and printing inks.

Adhesives & Sealants

In adhesives and sealants, aromatic fluids are efficient carriers for tackifying resins and elastomers. Their strong solvency enables uniform dispersion and optimal bonding strength in solvent-based and hybrid systems.

Oil & Gas / Refining Applications

RB aromatic grades, including heavier distillates, are often used as carriers and cleaning agents in oilfield formulations. They function effectively as aromatic wash oils, diluents, and components in corrosion inhibitor and stimulation blends, where solvency and stability are critical.

Aerosols & Consumer Products

High-purity aromatic solvents provide an effective medium for aerosol formulations, acting as carriers and dispersants for active ingredients in industrial, automotive, and household applications.

Agricultural Chemicals

Our aromatic fluids perform dependably as carriers and emulsifiers in pesticide and herbicide formulations. Their ability to dissolve active ingredients and maintain emulsion stability ensures reliable performance in crop protection products.

Industrial Cleaning & Degreasing

Aromatic solvents are valued in cleaning formulations for their ability to remove oils, waxes, inks, and residues that aliphatic solvents cannot. RB Products' high-purity aromatic fluids deliver consistent results while maintaining stability under demanding conditions.

Plastics, Polymers & Specialty Chemicals

In polymer processing and specialty chemical production, aromatic solvents serve as reaction media, co-solvents, and processing aids, supporting uniform polymerization and product consistency.

From coatings to oilfield production, RB Products provides the right balance of solvency and reliability, making our aromatic solvents a preferred choice for manufacturers that demand dependable performance across diverse applications.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are aromatic solvents?

Aromatic solvents are hydrocarbon-based liquids that contain one or more benzene rings, which give them strong solvency power. They are used to dissolve resins, polymers, and other organic materials in coatings, adhesives, cleaners, and industrial formulations.

What's the difference between light and heavy aromatic solvents?

Light aromatic solvents, such as Aromatic 100, have lower boiling points and faster evaporation rates, ideal for coatings or inks that require quick drying. Heavy aromatic solvents have higher flash points and slower evaporation rates, offering greater stability in industrial and oilfield applications.

Can RB Products create custom aromatic solvent blends?

Yes. Our production facility offers custom blending, hydrogenation, and toll processing services to meet unique solvency, volatility, or flash point requirements. We work closely with customers to design formulations that perform consistently in specific applications.
