SOLVENTS – HIGHEST PURITY
FOR PARTICULARLY DEMANDING APPLICATIONS

High-purity solvents are important raw materials for a number of demanding applications, such as in the pharmaceutical or electronics industry. With our decades of experience in distillative separation and specialty production, we offer our customers products with purities ranging from 95 % and 99 % to 99.75 %.  

Haltermann Carless' high-purity hydrocarbons are produced in Speyer, Germany. They are "Made in Germany" and convince with continuously highest quality standards. Our customers appreciate the security of supply for their production processes as much as our proven expertise in manufacturing and handling the products.

PRODUCT QUALITY OVERVIEW

Hydrocarbons 99 % product line

The Hydrocarbons 99 % product line includes aliphatic, alicyclic and aromatic hydrocarbons with a purity of at least 99% and a chain length in the range of C5 to C16. For process-related high quality requirements and for products with chain lengths from n-C17 to n-C20, hydrocarbons 99 % are most suitable. 

 
Hydrocarbons 95 % product line

The Hydrocarbons 95 % product line includes aliphatic and alicyclic hydrocarbons with a purity of at least 95 % and a chain length in the range of C5 to C16.

 
Petroleum ethers

Petroleum ethers are low-aromatic, low-boiling hydrocarbon fractions with narrow boiling limits. They are ideally suited for applications where rapid evaporation of the solvent is required. Some petroleum ethers are also offered with low n-hexane content.

 
purity of at least 99.75 %

Some products such as n-heptane and iso-octane are offered by us with a purity of at least 99.75 %.

 
Non-standard products

Non-standard products in the range of n-C17 to n-C20 can be produced on request. 

 
customer-specific quality parameters

Upon request, additional customer-specific quality parameters can be agreed upon to ensure an optimal result in the product application.

They are used as laboratory reagents and in industrial processes where their high purity combined with their physical properties offer particular advantages. They are excellent as excipients in processes such as crystallization, extraction, HPLC and SMB-chromatography, as well as reaction media and in certain applications as latent heat storage.

Fine chemicals are molecules that are complex to produce, are often only produced in small quantities and have a high, specified purity. These include fragrances, food additives, vitamins and the like. High-purity paraffinic solvents are used in the synthesis of these substances and especially in their workup.

LCD-production_iStock-939951348_1100x620px_210914

 

The manufacture of LCD screens places similarly high demands on the chemicals and solvents used as does the pharmaceutical industry. In fact, such complicated electronic components are manufactured in cleanrooms under almost clinical conditions. Dust, pollen or other dirt would subsequently cause dark spots on the screen of a smartphone, for example. Our high-purity solvents with their extremely low evaporation residue offer an excellent alternative to fluorinated, chlorinated and aromatic solvents.

Our ASTM (American Society for Testing and Materials) test and reference fuels have an exceptionally high degree of purity and meet the high qualitative requirements of DIN, EN, ISO or ASTM test methods and standards.

They are used for octane number or cetane number determination of fuels, for material testing of elastomers, rubber and polymer materials, and as customer-specific test fluids. In addition, special test mixtures are developed and produced for individual customer requirements. We manufacture the following ASTM test and reference fuels:

  • iso-Octane ASTM/n-Heptane ASTM for the octane determination of fuels.
  • Octane-80-blend ASTM, a blend of iso-octane ASTM and n-heptane ASTM with MON 80 +/- 0.1. Other ASTM fuels are available
  • Toluene ASTM
  • n-Cetane ASTM
  • n-Cetane for the cetane determination of diesel fuels in CFR/BASF-engines.
  • α-Methylnaphthalin for the cetane determination of diesel fuels in the BASF-engine.

Als Feinchemie bezeichnet man Moleküle, die aufwändig herzustellen sind, oft nur in kleinen Mengen produziert werden und eine hohe, spezifizierte Reinheit aufweisen. Dazu gehören Duftstoffe, Lebensmittelzusätze, Vitamine und ähnliches. In der Synthese dieser Stoffe und vor allem in der Aufarbeitung werden hochreine paraffinische Lösungsmittel verwendet.

LCD-production_iStock-939951348_1100x620px_210914

Die Herstellung von LCD-Bildschirmen stellt ähnlich hohe Ansprüche an die verwendeten Chemikalien und Lösungsmittel wie die Pharmaindustrie. Tatsächlich werden solche komplizierten elektronischen Bauteile in Reinräumen unter fast klinischen Bedingungen hergestellt. Staub, Pollen oder anderer Schmutz würde im Nachhinein für dunkle Stellen auf dem Bildschirm beispielsweise eines Smartphones sorgen. Unsere hochreinen Lösungsmittel mit ihrem äußerst geringen Abdampfrückstand bieten eine hervorragende Alternative zu fluorierten, chlorierten und aromatischen Lösungsmitteln.
