What is hydro-ethanolic?

Hydro-ethanolic refers to a solution or mixture that consists of water (hydro) and ethanol (ethanolic), typically used in various applications, including extraction processes in herbal medicine and laboratory settings. This combination leverages the solvent properties of both water and ethanol to effectively dissolve a range of polar and non-polar compounds, enhancing the extraction of active ingredients. Hydro-ethanolic solutions are often preferred for their ability to preserve the bioactivity of certain compounds while being relatively safe for consumption.

What is the meaning of hydro treated light nephthanic distillate?

Hydrotreated light naphthenic distillate is a refined petroleum product obtained through the hydrocracking and hydrotreating processes. It consists primarily of naphthenic hydrocarbons and is characterized by its low aromatic content, making it suitable for use in high-performance lubricants, solvents, and fuel additives. The hydroprocessing reduces impurities and enhances the product's stability and environmental compliance. This type of distillate is valued for its excellent solvency and low volatility properties.
