Pure Solvents
WHAT WE DO
A wide range of high-purity solvents completes Itelyum’s offering for the chemical, pharmaceutical, and industrial sectors. The production unit, located in Landriano, manages and fractionates complex feedstocks according to the highest operational, environmental, and health safety standards. The logistics hub in Rho (Mi) receives, prepares, and ships products while ensuring the absence of contamination. A team of experts, guided by R&D, QA, and engineering, develops new products to provide increasingly sustainable solutions for the European industry and beyond.
PRODUCTS
- Pentanes: Used as blowing agents for plastics (PU/EPS), in hot/cold cycles, and in cosmetics with custom formulations for each application.
- Hexanes: High-purity hydrocarbon solvents with a wide range of characteristics and compositions for use in the food or industrial sectors.
