Naphthenic specialty oils provide benefits in terms of their suitability as a replacement for silicone fluids in formulations and their ability to reduce microbial growth in silicone sealant joints.
A recent study finds that naphthenic oils can offer a viable alternative to silicones in construction sealants. A newly developed range of specialty oils also provides formulators with the right balance between viscosity, color stability, and volatility.
These additives are free of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and biocides, making them suitable for a range of aqueous systems.
