A chemical solvent is any solution in which another chemical (the solute) can be dissolved, creating a solution. Solution is an umbrella term that can apply to nearly any liquid product on the market, though it can also take solid, gas, and supercritical fluid forms.
Solvents, however, are strictly liquids. They are technically defined as liquids in which solids will dissolve, which is why so many companies need solvents to make their products. Otherwise, it would be difficult to impossible to mix certain ingredients in such a way as to create a true solution.
Water is the most common solvent on Earth and is used in a wide range of applications. However, often you need more specialized ingredients to create your formulas. These include – but aren’t limited to – ethanol and methanol, acetone, toluene, hexane, benzene, and more. Solvents may be used as a means of diluting products as well.
Today’s uses for solvents are almost limitless. They may participate in chemical reactions or they may not, sometimes simply acting as the medium for other chemicals to react to one another. They are used in products as wide-ranging as fuel and lotion, degreasers or powders – and on and on.
A good chemical solvent supplier will be able to assist organizations in markets from pharmaceuticals to personal care products, industrial machinery degreasers to aerospace applications. Solvents are useful in categories such as:
First and foremost, when seeking solvents, make sure your partner truly understands the chemistry. Look for a company with global ties that has served your market for years – preferably decades – and understands what you need as well as you do.
Second, make sure you can get your solvents in the right amounts. The right company will provide materials in containers that meet your application, storage space, and price point. From drums to tanks, you deserve to have your specifications met. Especially in this post-pandemic age of supply chain disruption and shortages, it’s critical you ensure upfront that your supplier can procure even high-demand solvents quickly, efficiently, and at a reasonable cost to you.
Lastly, your solvent supplier should have connections that enable you to get items quickly and easily, right where you are. A partner like Gantrade has connections across the globe, making challenges such as shipping, storage, and delivery a breeze.
