Isoparaffins are synthetic, branched-chain hydrocarbon solvents produced through a controlled chemical process rather than direct crude oil fractionation. Unlike straight-chain paraffins, the branched molecular structure of isoparaffins delivers a unique combination of low pour points, preferred evaporation rates, and exceptional chemical stability. These characteristics make isoparaffinic solvents a preferred choice over traditional aliphatic solvents in polymerization, alkylation, extraction, and formulation processes across a wide range of industries.

RB Products manufactures the TrueSyn™ "I" line of synthetic isoparaffins and isoparaffinic solvents through our manufacturing subsidiary, RB Processing LLC, strategically located in Pasadena, TX.

TrueSyn synthetic isoparaffins are:

• Odorless with < 1 ppm sulfur and < 0.1% aromatics
• Water white in color with low pour points
• VOC exempt for consumer goods applications
• Compliant with FDA 21 CFR 178.3620(b) Technical White Mineral Oil regulations

Our RB TrueSyn 200i is NSF HX-1, FX, and NX approved, meeting all high-purity standards set by NSF International, as well as FDA 21 CFR 178.3570 (incidental food contact) and FDA 21 CFR 172.882 (Synthetic Isoparaffin Petroleum Hydrocarbons).

Compared to traditional aliphatic solvents, TrueSyn isoparaffinic solvents offer superior wetting capabilities, high chemical stability, preferred evaporation profiles, and excellent resistance to oxidation during long-term storage or shelving.

TrueSyn synthetic isoparaffins serve a broad range of markets and end-use applications:

• Aerosol & Consumer Products — VOC-exempt carrier for spray products and household goods
• Agriculture — Low-toxicity solvent carrier for pesticide and herbicide formulations
