Shell Chemical’s gas-to-liquid (GTL) synthetic isoparaffin fluids and solvents are creating a new standard in the industry for purity, low aromatics, and low odor. Since these products utilize natural gas as the feedstock, they are readily biodegradable, a desirable characteristic for these type of solvents in eco-friendly applications. These unique properties mean GTL solvents and fluids can be used in a broad range of products from personal care, mosquito and bug repellents, low smoke/low odor fuel, heat transfer fluids, paints and other household, institutional and specialty products.
With a consistent supply of many GTL solvents stored locally in bulk at a terminal in Bayonne, New Jersey, Renkert Oil is ready to ship via drums, totes, bulk tank trucks and tankcars.
Purer from the start
Shell GTL solvents and fluids begin as natural gas, a feedstock with less contaminants than crude oil. These products contain little to none of the impurities such as sulfur or nitrogen that can be less desirable in select applications.
An added benefit of the Shell GTL isoparaffin solvents is the higher flash point relative to their viscosity levels, allowing for improved performance in many applications.
Shell GTL Solvents and Fluids offer a reduced environmental impact due to their low aromatic and naphthenic content. They are designed to promote better biodegradability, with lower ecotoxicity and lower photochemical reactivity compared to conventional crude-derived solvents.
These products are rated as Readily Biodegradable, meaning they have the natural ability to biodegrade to their natural state when subjected to sunlight, water and microbial activity, from 60 to 100% in 28 days. These terms are important for anyone formulating with eco-friendliness in mind.
