Usage Across Various End Use Industries Driving Demand of Aliphatic Solvents

Aliphatic Solvents are also known as non-aromatic solvents. They are one of the most commonly used solvents worldwide and found in many of the everyday products.

They are used as solvents or diluents in paints and thinners, they are widely used in oil extraction, degreasing, rubber manufacturing and as carriers for aerosols and disinfectants.

Gasoline and kerosene are examples of aliphatic hydrocarbon solvents. Common aliphatic hydrocarbon solvents used in paints and coatings are mineral spirits, hexanes and heptane. These compounds are also used as corrosion inhibitors.

The growth of this segment can be attributed to the increasing demand for decorative, automotive, industrial, and protective paints & coatings in both, developed and emerging countries.

This growing demand for paints & coatings for the increasing number of residential and commercial buildings due to rising population and urbanization majorly in China and India is expected to drive the global market during the forecast period.

Asia Pacific Demand Market Outlook for Aliphatic Solvents

Asia-Pacific region is expected to dominate the market for aliphatic hydrocarbon solvents and thinners during the forecast period. Due to the high demand application from countries like China, India and Japan, the market for aliphatic hydrocarbon solvents and thinners has been increasing. The largest producers of aliphatic hydrocarbon solvents and thinners are located in Asia-Pacific region.

Some of the leading companies in the production of aliphatic hydrocarbon solvents and thinner are Royal Dutch Shell, Recochem Inc., Phillips 66, MG Organics Pvt. Ltd.
