General description

This ElectroGreen® solvent is made of bio-based (corn/beets-derived) safer alternatives to replace synthetic NMP fossil-based solvent with specifications tailored for electronics and energy applications. All our ElectroGreen® solvents line are derived from a renewable resource (verified through C14 ASTMD6866-16 testing). We are committed to bringing you Greener Alternative Products, which adhere to one or more of The 12 Principles of Greener Chemistry. Click here for more information.

This solvent blend consists of Dimethyl sulphoxide 50-70%; N,N-Dimethyloctanamide 20-30%; N,N-Dimethyldecan-1-amide 10-20%.

Application

N-Methyl Pyrrolidone (NMP)’s largest use in electronics is in cleaning, surface preparation applications and ink formulations. For coatings formulators looking to replace petroleum-based solvents with a bio-based, sustainable alternative, NMP substitute – type 2, bio-sourced is a solvent blend ideal replacement for NMP in a wide array of ink formulations and cleaning applications.

Storage and Stability

To ensure low water content, handle under inert conditions. Product should be refrigerated upon receipt.
