free of aromatic hydrocarbons
almost, an Aromaat is something slightly different than an aroma, notwithstanding that an odourless Buntlack would be nice!

non-aromatic
just means it does not contain aromatic compounds (as opposed to e.g. aliphatic ones).
vic is also correct, I just think this term is more common.
