Question

without sulfur & aromatic this solvent to needs with more than 110 degre centegrad & maximum viscosity 3cst 20 C.

Answer 1

Xylenes might work as well. The are nonpolar solvents that like to dissolve lipophilic compounds such as paraffin oil...

from wikipedia..."Xylene is a generic term for a group of three benzene derivatives which encompasses ortho-, meta-, and para- isomers of dimethyl benzene. The o-, m- and p- designations specify to which carbon atoms (of the benzene ring) the two methyl groups are attached."

Boiling points of the three isomers range from 138 degrees to 144 degrees Celcius...
