SOLVENTS: GTL FLUIDS AND SOLVENTS

Shell chemicals companies are leading global suppliers of GTL Fluids and Solvents - next-generation,
high-purity paraffinic fluids based on innovative Gas-to-Liquids (GTL) technology. Their unique
synthetic composition, with low aromatics content, may enhance performance over conventional
solvents in many industrial processes and product formulations.

Pure performance starts here

Thanks to their very low aromatic and low naphthenic content, Shell GTL Fluids and Solvents
have a reduced environmental impact

Our range of GTL Fluids and Solvents grades

are sourced from the world-leading Pearl GTL
plant in Qatar. The scale of the facility helps to
ensure strong security of supply, while a global
logistics network supports the fulfilment of
orders in local markets.

By drawing on Shell’s extensive technology and

product expertise, the GTL range has been
developed to deliver the following performance
characteristics:

Reduced environmental
impact: very low aromatic and low
naphthenic content designed to
promote better biodegradability, lower
ecotoxicity and lower photochemical
reactivity. The latter is designed to
result in very low ozone formation
potential.
High purity: synthesised from
methane gas, GTL Fluids and Solvents
comprise only iso and normal paraffins.
They contain very low amounts of
impurities such as sulphur, olefins and
polycyclic aromatics. They have a
bright and clear appearance.
Low odour: almost odourless, due
to their very low aromatic and low
naphthenic content.
Synthetic: GTL technology and gas
feedstock are designed to provide a
more stable, synthetic product with
consistent composition.

Many applications can benefit from the

beneficial properties of GTL Fluids & Solvents
