NIPAR S-10™ is a HAPs-free (hazardous air pollutants), commercial-grade 1-nitropropane solvent with a low MIR (maximum incremental reactivity) value. NIPAR S-10 is a versatile thinner and solvent for aerosol paints, cellulose compounds and lacquers, vinyl resins for industrial coatings and printing inks, synthetic finish remover, and oil and spirit-soluble dyes of molded plastics. NIPAR S-10 provides utility as a fuel additive and as an extraction solvent for the purification, separation, recrystallization, and recovery of natural and synthetic resins, tars, coating materials, fats and oils. It is also used as a reaction medium in polymer technologies, as a catalyst, initiator and solvent. It can be used in organic chemical synthesis for the preparation of amines, nitrated alcohols, acids and chloronitroparaffins.
