Non-Polar Solvents
Non-polar solvents are low-polarity organic liquids — aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons and chlorinated species such as hexane, heptane, toluene, xylene, cyclohexane, petroleum ether and white spirit — used for oil and fat extraction, degreasing, dilution of resins and rubbers, reaction media and as chromatography eluents. Buyers in edible-oil processing, coatings, adhesives, pharmaceuticals and analytical laboratories select them by boiling range, aromatic content, evaporation rate and residue, since these govern solvency power and drying.
Grades span technical/commercial and food-extraction grade through laboratory reagent and analytical reagent (AR/ACS) to HPLC, GC and pesticide-residue grades for trace analysis. Spec sheets commonly cover assay or hydrocarbon composition by GC, distillation/boiling range, water content, residue on evaporation, acidity and, for chromatography grades, UV transparency and residue suitability; industrial hydrocarbon grades are often framed against ASTM distillation-range methods. CAS and HS details are provided on documentation rather than assumed here.
Forms include reagent bottles, 200–210 L steel drums, 1000 L IBCs and ISO tanks for bulk; most non-polar solvents are flammable and several carry additional health classifications, so packing follows transport rules.
For EU import, REACH registration or an Only Representative pathway is coordinated where required, with CLP/GHS labelling and SDS supplied; flammable and aromatic grades are assigned ADR/IMDG classes and UN numbers. SABER/SASO is coordinated for Saudi Arabia.
Himalay's verified manufacturer and exporter partners supply non-polar solvents 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.
