Pure solvents for all common industrial applications

MCAS offers a variety of pure solvents for all common industrial applications. Please note that the designation PURE in this case does not refer to the purity (concentration) of the solvent, but states that the solvent only consists of one substance - e.g. acetone or isopropanol.The advantage of pure solvents over solvent mixtures is the availability of a large number of chemical and physical data such as boiling point, flash point, density and many others.This data enables the user to select the solvent that is right for him based on this data.Some of this data is also available for solvent mixtures, but to a much lesser extent.The MCAS-Systems GmbH is your trusted partner for high quality chemicals and chemical products.
