Introduction of Petro Refineries Mirdamad Sofeh Company
In an effort to establish a leading Petro-refinery holding, Petro Refineries Mir Damad Sofeh Company was founded in the summer of 2022 as one of the subsidiaries of Isfahan Petro Refineries Holding (formerly Isfahan Oil Refinery). This company, utilizing its special solvents unit, storage facilities, and loading systems, and relying on the knowledge, experience, and efforts of its specialized staff, aims not only to enhance the value chain for producing various solvents but also envisions the production of unique and new products. With a development-focused approach in the oil value chain economy, leveraging the expertise of specialists and producing strategic and unique products, Petro Refineries Mir Damad Safeh Company has contributed to reducing raw material exports, decreasing dependence on imported oil products, and balanced development of the value chain while prioritizing environmental issues and sustainable development.

Heavy Aromatics
This aromatic solvent contains cyclic and aromatic hydrocarbons in the range of C8 to C12 with a boiling point of 140-198 degrees Celsius and contains small amounts of olefins. In this solvent, at least 95% is aromatic.
Among its uses, we can mention its uses in chemical industries, industrial resins, chemicals, agriculture, fuel additives, coatings and detergent production.
Hexane
Hexane with the formula C6 H14 is obtained from the controlled distillation of oil and other processes that are based on oil refining. Hexane is used to extract edible oils from oil seeds in the polymerization process of olefins and as a solvent for various applications. The use of hexane has been popular since the beginning of the 20th century. One of the advantages of extracting with hexane is the stability of the plant pigment. Hexane is also used as a solvent for special purposes and as a degreaser in the textile, shoe and leather industries.
Pentane
Pentane with the formula C5 H12 is a colorless liquid. Pentane is available in two forms, ISO and normal. Pentane is used in motor fuels as well as in extraction processes, blowing agent in plastic foam, raw material for the preparation of other chemicals, laboratory solvent and chemical reaction solvent. Its applications are in low temperature thermometers, artificial ice production, particle spreader in sprays, lighting, disinfectant and pest control. The produced pentane consists of 70% normal pentane and 30% isopentane and can be adjusted according to request. It also has customers.

Solvent 400
This solvent is mostly used as a diluent in varnish, alcohols, paints, color polish, printing ink and as a diluent in the production of glue.
Solvent 400 contains at least 30% of aromatic compounds, including paraffinic and cycloparaffinic hydrocarbons, and is also used as a raw material in the manufacture of thinners.
Solvent 402
Solvent 402 contains C7 to C12 carbons, which is used in preparing paints, dyeing fabrics, cleaning metal surfaces, furniture making, shoe polishes, resin and rubber solvent, printing, cosmetics, health and food industries.
Also, because it is insoluble in water, it is used in the extraction process, sprays and wood protection. This solution belongs to the category of white spirit solvents, which is a mixture of paraffinic and aromatic hydrocarbons with a boiling temperature range of 142 to 198 degrees Celsius.
Solvent 403
Solvent 403 is also considered as a white spirit solvent and has similar characteristics to solvent 402, with the difference that its minimum aromatic content is 45% by volume. This solvent is used in paint thinners, varnish, alcohol, fabric printing, degreasing of metal surfaces, wax solvent and dry cleaning.
Solvent 404
Solvent 404 is part of the group of solvents with special boiling point (SBP) and consists of paraffinic and cycloparaffinic hydrocarbons with 5 to 8 carbon atoms and is used as a solvent in the chemical and food industries.
Solvent 406
Solvent 406 belongs to the group of solvents with a specific boiling point (SBP) and has properties similar to Solvent 404. with the difference that it has a maximum of 7% aromatic volume. It is used in paint thinners, varnishes and printing inks, one of the raw materials for the synthesis of tire rubber, glue and resin solvent, chemical, cosmetic and food industries. Currently, at the request of respected customers, the normal amount of hexane solvent 406 is between 40 and 45% by volume and its cyclohexane is less than 8% by volume, and its sulfur and aromatics can be removed.
Solvent 409
Solvent 409 is a high boiling point (SBP) solvent with a high aromatic percentage. The minimum aromatic percentage of this solvent is 75% by volume and it is of toluene type. It is used in varnish thinner, alcohols, paints, polishes, printing inks, adhesives. In addition, this solvent is part of the ingredients of the thinner.
Solvent 410
Solvent 410 is used as a feed for chemical industries in the production of rubber and glue, and it can also be used as a cleaning solvent.
Solvent 502
Solvent 502 is a low-sulfur petroleum-based solvent consisting of mainly 10-13 carbon isoparaffins, which is used in paint and other industries. Its boiling temperature range is 180 to 250 degrees Celsius.
Solvent 503
Solvent 503 is a petroleum based solvent and its boiling temperature range is 210 to 295 degrees Celsius.
