Aliphatic Solvents and Thinners Market Size, Share & Industry Analysis, By Type (Varnish makers and painters, Naptha, Mineral Spirit, Hexane, Heptane, Others), By Application (Paints & Coatings, Degreasing and Cleaning, Adhesives, Aerosols, Rubber & Polymer, Others) and Regional Forecast, 2024-2032

Aliphatic solvents and thinners are aliphatic hydrocarbons that are used as solvents. Sometimes they are mixture of long, straight chained, branched and cyclic aliphatic hydrocarbons. These solvents are generally derived from petroleum and crude oil. They are used as refrigerants, propellants, lubricants, cleaning agents, chemical intermediates and others. The increasing demand from any end-use sectors is likely to foster the market growth.

The aliphatic solvents are used majorly as thinners in paints and coatings. These solvents make the paints durable and enhance their performance. The high demand from paints and coatings industries is likely to boost the market.

However, cracking of some of the aliphatic solvents produce poisonous gases. This is likely to hamper the market growth of the aliphatic solvents and thinners. The use of certain solvents for making soaps and other cleaning and degrading agents shall foster the market demand.
