D100 and solvent naphtha alternative
CAS 64742-48-9
Bio-based D100 alternative:
ASTROBIO™ S100, sample on request.
ASTROBIO™ S100 is the bio-based solvent blend that replaces D100 dearomatised paraffin (CAS 64742-48-9 in our portfolio) and is also described as a replacement for solvent naphtha, kerosene and white spirits. It dissolves and thins in paint and ink formulations, formulates coatings and adhesives, cleans industrial residues and soils, and has reduced evaporation losses, so it stays on the job longer.

The dearomatised paraffin that ASTROBIO™ S100 is made to replace, with solvent naphtha.
Origin
Bio-based, for D100 and solvent naphtha
ASTROBIO™ S100 is a bio-based solvent blend developed in Italy since 2006 as a replacement for the petroleum-based dearomatised paraffin D100, and it is also described as a replacement for solvent naphtha, kerosene and white spirits.
Thinning
Dissolves and thins in paints and inks
ASTROBIO™ S100 is described as ideal for dissolving and thinning in paint and ink formulations, with strong solvency power for several resins and polymers, reduced evaporation losses and complete drying without residue.
Safer
Safer than D100
ASTROBIO™ S100 is safer than D100 due to its hazard statements and GHS and CLP classification. Check the classification of your current D100 or naphtha in its safety data sheet.
A summary for orientation, not legal advice: always check the current texts and your safety data sheets.
ASTROBIO™ S100 does the job of D100 with a lighter label.

Yes, that is what it is made for: its technical data sheet describes ASTROBIO™ S100 as a bio-sustainable replacement for dearomatised paraffins (D100) in many industrial applications. Test it in your lab against your current D100 recipe; if you need maximum performance, a custom blend is available.
Its technical data sheet describes it as a replacement for solvent naphtha, kerosene or white spirits, besides D100, in many industrial applications. "Naphtha" covers different products, so check the safety data sheet of the one you use, then tell us your application and we suggest how to test.
It is described as ideal for dissolving and thinning in the formulation of paints and inks, with strong solvency power for several resin and polymer grades and 20-30% better efficiency at reducing viscosity than other fossil-based solvents.
The technical data sheet describes reduced evaporation losses, so the solvent stays on the job longer. The measured evaporation rate is in the data sheet in the Reserved Area, where you can compare it with the product you use today.
The technical data sheet describes ASTROBIO™ S100 as safer than D100 due to its hazard statements and GHS and CLP classification. Compare the safety data sheets of your current D100 or naphtha and of the grade you test, and check your specific case with your safety adviser.
Our portfolio and our D100 product page list CAS 64742-48-9 for D100, the same number listed for D40 and D60. Solvent naphtha is a different product: check the CAS number on its safety data sheet.
ASTROBIO™ S100 is the grade for D100. For D60 see ASTROBIO™ SR, and for D40 see ASTROBIO™ K40: each has its own page. If you are unsure which paraffin you have, send us the product name and your application.
On our site S100 is listed among the ASTROBIO™ NV grades, completely hydroxyl free and compatible with systems containing reactive -NCO groups. If your system contains isocyanates, our chemists confirm the right NV grade before you test.
