Introduction to Solvents
Solvents refers to chemical compounds which has the function of dissolving or suspending solutes in it. The solvents are mainly found in liquid forms. The solvents are known for dissolving or suspending materials without changing their chemical characteristics. The various application of solvents includes, paint, adhesives, coatings, cosmetics, inks and other.
The solvents have widespread applications as dissolving agent for paints, inks and other products providing consistency to cosmetics such as nail paint, remover, lotions, perfumes and others.
