General description

This ElectroGreen® solvent is made of bio-based (corn/beets-derived) safer alternatives to replace synthetic toluene 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 ASTM D6866-16 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 details.

This solvent blend consists of ethanol 20-30%, Ethyl lactate 20-30%, ethyl acetate 10-20%.

Application

Toluene is used in electronics industry as cleaning solvent and in ink formulations. Our toluene substitute is a bio-based blend replacement for toluene. With our toluene substitute, ink formulators are reducing the use of hazardous petroleum solvents.
