Raffinate

28Edge supplies premium-quality Raffinate streams, including Raffinate-1 and Raffinate-2 — sourced from major petrochemical complexes and refineries across the Middle East and Central Asia. Our raffinate products are produced as by-products of C4 and C5 hydrocarbon separation units and are widely used as feedstocks for chemical, fuel, and solvent production. With advanced logistics coordination and reliable bulk shipment infrastructure, 28Edge delivers raffinate under FOB, CIF, and CFR terms to global buyers seeking consistent quality and performance.

Raffinate is a valuable hydrocarbon mixture composed mainly of butenes, butanes, pentanes, and other light paraffins, derived during the extraction of butadiene or isobutylene from mixed C4 or C5 streams. Raffinate-1 is primarily used as a feedstock for MTBE and alkylation units, while Raffinate-2 serves as a blending component for gasoline or as a raw material in solvent and resin production. Due to its high octane value and low olefin reactivity, raffinate is essential for fuel quality improvement and petrochemical synthesis.

28Edge’s raffinate conforms to ASTM D2163 and D86 standards, with rigorous testing for composition, vapor pressure, olefin content, and density. Each batch is verified through SGS or Bureau Veritas inspection, ensuring accurate specification and quality compliance. The product is stored and shipped in pressurized or refrigerated tanks, maintaining stability and preventing vapor loss during handling and transport.

As refining and petrochemical integration deepens, raffinate streams have become increasingly important in the global fuel blending and chemical manufacturing sectors. We ensure reliable sourcing, competitive pricing, and transparent operations for clients requiring raffinate for downstream conversion, blending, or energy generation purposes.
