A Range of Alternative Solvents and Replacement Options for Demanding Applications

Our solvent selection includes materials with bio-based content and low to zero VOC content, along with no listed hazardous air pollutants (HAPs under the Clean Air Act), from a variety of suppliers. We create custom blends of these materials to produce solvent systems for industrial cleaning, coatings, and various formulation needs.

Dimethyl Esters (DMEs): Highly effective and versatile solvent used in many coatings applications and as a component or stand alone solvent for industrial cleaning. We currently provide DMEs in customized blends for several manufacturers and formulators. Learn More About DMEs

Propylene Carbonate: Can be used in formulations to replace solvents such as methylene chloride, acetone, aromatic solvents, and other solvents with higher volatility and more hazardous profiles.

Glycerine Carbonate: Ideal for cosmetic, personal care, and medicinal applications. Excellent co-solvent for custom-tailored blends.

Methyl Soyate: Bio-based raw material that can be used on a variety of substrates. This product is considered readily biodegradable and has excellent compatibility for blends with other solvents or in micro-emulsions containing d’Limonene, NMP, mineral spirits, and alcohols.

Tripropylene Glycol (Mono) Methyl Ether (TPM):  Lower volatility, low odor, completely water miscible and versatile co-solvent in coatings and cleaners. Applications in coatings and cleaners, as well as agricultural, electronic, ink, textile and adhesive products.

Ethyl Lactate: Lactate esters are readily biodegradable and maintain high  solvency and cleaning performance characteristics. Can be used to replace solvents or as co-solvent in custom blends and formulations.
