Wholesale Industrial Solvent Suppliers
Industrial solvents are essential raw materials for coatings, adhesives, cleaning, pharmaceutical manufacturing, electronics fabrication, and chemical synthesis. Towobo connects buyers with verified wholesale suppliers of alcohols (IPA, ethanol, methanol, n-butanol), ketones (acetone, MEK, MIBK), esters (ethyl acetate, butyl acetate), aromatic solvents (toluene, xylene, ethylbenzene), glycol ethers (PM, PM acetate, PGMEA, PGME), chlorinated solvents, and green/bio-based alternatives. Sourced from Germany, China, USA, Netherlands, India, South Korea, and Belgium — all with REACH registration documentation and GHS-compliant SDS.

Alcohols: IPA (isopropanol 99.8%+) for electronics cleaning, disinfection, pharmaceutical formulation; ethanol (anhydrous 99.9%, denatured industrial) for coatings and extractions; methanol for chemical synthesis and biodiesel; n-butanol and isobutanol for coating solvents. Ketones: acetone for cleaning and acetylene dissolution; MEK for adhesives, coatings, and magnetic tape; MIBK for extraction and coatings. Esters: ethyl acetate and butyl acetate for flexible packaging printing inks and nail coatings. Aromatics: toluene for thinning and extraction; xylene isomers (o, m, p) and mixed xylenes for coatings and resin synthesis. Glycol ethers: PGMEA (propylene glycol methyl ether acetate) for semiconductor photoresist processing; PM acetate for automotive coatings.
REACH SVHC Solvents and Substitution
Several solvent classes face REACH restrictions. SVHC (Substances of Very High Concern) solvents on the Candidate List or Authorisation List: DMF (dimethylformamide — CMR reprotoxic, REACH Annex XIV); NMP (N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone — CMR reprotoxic, concentration limited); DCM (dichloromethane — SVHC candidate); 1,2-dichloroethane (CMR). Substitution alternatives: NMP → NBP (n-butyl pyrrolidone), GBL (gamma-butyrolactone), or NEP (n-ethyl pyrrolidone); DMF → DMI (dimethyl isosorbide) or triethyl citrate; DCM → methylal (dimethoxymethane) or propylene glycol diacetate. Suppliers should provide REACH authorisation reference numbers for SVHC solvent supply to EU customers.
GHS Class 3 Flammable Liquids and Transport
Most common industrial solvents are classified as GHS Class 3 Flammable Liquids, categorised by flash point: Category 1 (<23°C, bp <35°C — diethyl ether); Category 2 (<23°C, bp >35°C — acetone, IPA, methanol, toluene, MEK, ethyl acetate); Category 3 (≥23°C and ≤60°C — n-butanol, xylene, MIBK). Transport: UN numbers (e.g. UN 1090 Acetone, UN 1219 Isopropanol), proper shipping name, packing groups. ADR by road requires orange plates and hazmat driver certification; IMDG for sea requires segregation from oxidisers and flammable solids; IATA restricts quantities per package. Always transport in UN-approved containers.
