RB TrueSyn 150i
RB Products, Inc. manufactures RB TrueSyn 150i, a synthetic isoparaffin solvent for formulators who want a cleaner, more consistent alternative to traditional aliphatic solvents. We have processed and distributed specialty hydrocarbon fluids since 1996, and ISO 9001 certification backs our quality management system. If your business needs a dependable supplier of TrueSyn 150i, our team can confirm specifications and get your order moving.
Key Properties & Specifications of Isoparaffin 150 Solvent
RB TrueSyn 150i is the lightest grade in our TrueSyn™ "I" line of synthetic isoparaffins. These branched-chain hydrocarbons come from a controlled process that produces a virtually odorless, water-white isoparaffin 150 solvent with 0 mg/kg sulfur and less than 0.01% aromatics. The branched structure also gives the solvent a pour point below -54°F and resistance to oxidation during storage, so it stays predictable in storage and in the blend tank.

Why Choose RB TrueSyn 150i Over Traditional Solvents
Traditional aliphatic solvents can vary in composition from lot to lot. RB TrueSyn 150i comes from a controlled process with tight property ranges, and that difference shows up on the production floor as fewer adjustments between lots.
| Factor | RB TrueSyn 150i | Traditional Aliphatic Solvents |
|---|---|---|
| Batch Consistency | Tight lot-to-lot consistency | Composition can vary by lot |
| Odor | Virtually odorless | Often a noticeable hydrocarbon odor |
| Aromatics | < 0.01% | Typically higher |
| Sulfur | 0 mg/kg | Varies by source |
| Wetting | Better surface wetting | Standard |
| Storage Stability | Strong oxidation resistance | Less stable over time |
| Reactivity | Lower reactivity with contacted materials | Higher reactivity |
Low odor and low aromatics make this isoparaffin 150 solvent a practical pick for formulations where operators work close to the product. We take ownership of every batch and test each one for conformity. Our in-house blending gives us tighter control than a distributor reselling someone else's inventory.

RB TrueSyn 150i vs. Other TrueSyn Grades
Every grade in our TrueSyn synthetic isoparaffins line shares the same isoparaffin chemistry. The main differences are flash point, viscosity, and evaporation rate. As the lightest grade, 150i has the lowest viscosity and the fastest evaporation in the line. Compare the grades against your target flash point and evaporation rate, and our team can point you to the closest fit.
| Grade | Flash Point | Viscosity at 40°C | Best Fit |
|---|---|---|---|
| RB TrueSyn 150i | 147°F | 1.3 cSt | Lightest grade for faster evaporation |
| RB TrueSyn 200i | 218°F | 2.6 cSt | NSF HX-1, FX, and NX approved for food-grade use |
| RB TrueSyn 270i | 275°F | 3.4 cSt | Middle ground between evaporation rate and volatility |
| RB TrueSyn 310i | 325°F | 6.1 cSt | Slow evaporation where low volatility takes precedence |
