Solvents and fluids

ExxonMobil hydrocarbon fluids, including specialty brands and unique products tailored for specific applications, are available in a variety of distillation ranges and evaporation rates. They are well-suited as solvents, dispersants, diluents and carriers for many applications.

Branched alcohols  

Exxal™ alcohols are isomeric branched, primary alcohols that contain both even- and odd-numbered hydrocarbon chains, ranging from C8 to C13. Customers use Exxal alcohols to synthesize derivatives used in surfactants, polymer additives, adhesives, lube and fuel additives and lubricant esters. They are also used as solvents or co-solvents for coatings, inks and metal extraction mining.

Plasticizers

ExxonMobil offers the industry's broadest range of high-molecular-wight (HMW) plasticizers. Jayflex™ high-molecular-weight plasticizers provide an optimum balance of properties with outstanding performance and permanence.

Neo acids

ExxonMobil neo acids exhibit highly branched structures in which the carboxylic group is attached to a quaternary carbon atom where R1, R2 and R3 are alkyl groups. The high steric hindrance provided the neo acid structure imparts excellent thermal and hydrolytic stability in derivatives and also helps make neo acids a superior building block for coating derivates. 

Branched higher olefins

Higher olefins are reactive intermediates used to manufacture products used in lube oil additives, surfactants, agricultural chemicals, coatings and corrosion inhibitors. ExxonMobil Chemical also uses them as feedstocks for alcohols, plasticizers and neodecanoic acids.
