1. A solvent composition, comprising:
paraffins,
wherein the paraffins include C5 to C15 paraffins and i-paraffins;
wherein a content of the C5 to C15 paraffins is 95 wt.-% or more,
wherein a content of the i-paraffins is 91.0 wt.-% or more, relative to the solvent composition as a whole;
wherein there is more than 55.0 wt.-% dimethylated, trimethylated or higher methylated i-paraffins relative to all of the i-paraffins in the solvent composition;
and wherein:
the solvent composition is a derivation of a renewable raw material including at least one or more of: a fat or an oil of any plant origin, of any animal origin, or of any microbial origin, including algae and fungi, fish, vegetable oil/fat, animal oil/fat, food industry waste oil/fat, algae oil/fat, microbial oil, palm oil, rapeseed oil, algae oil, jatropha oil, soybean oil, cooking oil, vegetable oil, animal fat or fish fat; and
the solvent composition having a boiling point in a range of 150° C. to 250° C. and an aniline point of 83° C. or below via hydrotreating the renewable raw material to form hydrotreated material, isomerising the hydrotreated material obtained in the hydrotreating of the renewable raw material to provide an isomeric raw material, and distilling the isomeric raw material to form the solvent composition.
