Organic Solvents

Organic solvents are compounds that dissolve other substances to form solutions. They are widely used in industries such as chemicals, pharmaceuticals, paints and inks. Organic solvents have properties such as low volatility, high boiling points and the ability to dissolve a wide range of materials. They are essential for applications such as extraction, purification and reaction media in chemical processes. However, their use must be carefully managed to minimize environmental and health impacts, and solvent-free or water-based alternative technologies are being developed to address these issues.
