LubSol™ 44NP n-paraffin is a high purity; linear saturated paraffin mixture of various molecular weighs in the C14-C17 carbon range. It is clear, water white, low odor, low viscosity liquid.

LubSol™ 44NP n-paraffin undergoes the various substitution reactions typical of paraffinic hydrocarbons. LubSol™ 44NP n-paraffin finds direct use as a solvent in many applications and as a lamp fuel.

Typical examples and applications of these are:

• Chlorination to high level of chorine content for use as flame-retardants, plasticizers and EP additives.
• Oxidation to alcohols.
• Nitration to nitro-alkanes and amines.
• Sulfoxidation or sulfochlorination for surfactant or plasticizer manufacture.
• Raw material for microbiological oxidation or fermentation process.
