High-purity ISOPAR improves polyolefi η -process products and process control This new family of high-purity hydrocarbons developed by Humble research gives added assurance of product quality . . · new advantages as a reaction medium. ISOPAR provides good yields of high-grade polymer, with low catalyst consumption. Solvency is adequate for monomers and catalysts, but at a min imum for slurried-type polymers, resulting in improved dry rates and residual odor of polymer. Separation and recovery of solvent are economical with the narrow-range grades of controlled volatility available. Evaluate ISOPAR now in your polyolefin reactions, in purification and extraction processes and in formulations. Call our local Sales Representative or write to our Solvents Sales Department in Houston, Texas.
*FDA REGULATION 121.2558 issued November 17, 1962 covering synthetic isoparaffinic petro leum hydrocarbons for production of non-food articles used in food-related applications. Four commercial and three developmental grades of ISOPAR comply with this regulation.
