ESTISOL™ 190 is a zero-VOC, polar solvent made from vegetable-based raw materials, engineered for formulators who want to reduce or eliminate d-limonene while improving safety, environmental profile, and performance.
Produced by Estichem and available in the U.S. from J R Hess Company, Inc., ESTISOL 190 delivers exceptional solvency with a very high flash point and no CLP labeling requirements—a compelling way to differentiate next-generation cleaners and degreasers.
Water-white, low-viscosity, and mild-odor, ESTISOL 190 works in aqueous and non-aqueous systems, making it a versatile backbone solvent for modern, safer formulations.
