  • Applications

    2,4-Dimethylpentane (CAS 108-08-7) is a nonpolar hydrocarbon primarily used as a low- to mid-boiling solvent in industrial manufacturing. It serves as a process solvent for coating formulations, inks, and adhesives; as a component in hydrocarbon solvent blends for cleaning and degreasing; and as a nonpolar diluent in polymer processing and resin formulations. It may be used as a reference solvent in analytical methods such as chromatography, and as a feedstock or blending component in petrochemical and fuel-related operations, subject to local regulations.
