Aliphatic Hydrocarbons
Aliphatic hydrocarbons are straight-chain, branched and cyclic non-aromatic hydrocarbons used as solvents, extraction media, cleaning fluids and process diluents. The category covers hexane, heptane, white spirit and mineral spirits, special boiling-point (SBP) and naphtha solvent cuts, and dearomatised aliphatic solvents. For EU and GCC buyers, these are bought as solvent grades defined by boiling range, aromatic content and evaporation rate.
Grades are defined chiefly by distillation range, purity and aromatic content. Food- and extraction-grade hexane is specified by n-hexane content and low residue; dearomatised grades carry very low (often below 1%) aromatic content for low-odour, low-toxicity solvent applications. Special boiling-point spirits are specified by their boiling-point band (for example SBP 60/95). Key parameters include distillation range, density, flash point, evaporation rate, aromatic content and non-volatile residue. HS codes are provided on documentation; precise CAS framing is given per product on the SDS.
Aliphatic hydrocarbons ship in ISO tanks, flexitanks, drums (200-210 L) and IBCs. Most are flammable and shipped under assigned UN numbers per ADR/IMDG.
Compliance typically includes SDS provision, CLP/GHS labelling, REACH registration or Only Representative routing for EU entry, and SABER/SASO registration for Saudi Arabia, coordinated where required. Food-contact or extraction grades carry the relevant purity documentation where required.
Himalay's verified manufacturer and exporter partners supply aliphatic hydrocarbons with CoA per batch, SDS, REACH/CLP compliance coordinated for EU, GHS labelling, and SABER for Saudi Arabia handled as part of the standard order flow.
