EkaSol 1 by TBF Environmental Technology is an earth friendly environmentally compliant green solvent. It is designed as VOC- and NPRI-exempt, safe, benzene-free, efficient, cost effective and as a replacement for methyl ethyl ketone (MEK) & acetone. Also found to be non-carcinogenic, with no hazardous air pollutants, environmental hazardous ingredients or ozone depleting chemicals. Exhibits high purity, excellent solvency, improved flow characteristics, high loading capacity and is shaped to be more efficient in viscosity reduction than MEK and acetone. It dries completely and leaves no surface residue. Designed to be efficient and versatile. It is also non-toxic, as well as biodegradable in nature. Applications include adhesives. EkaSol 1 carries the favorable FEMA GRAS (Flavor and Extracts Manufacturers Association - Generally Regarded as safe) designation by the food and drug administration.
BerdeSol™ by TBF Environmental Technology is a safe, low toxicity alternative for heptane, aromatic 100, cyclohexane, methyl amyl ketone (MAK), perchloroethylene and butyl acetate. Acts as a benzene-free, non-carcinogenic, biodegradable, clean air primary or co-solvent. It has a very low Maximum Incremental Reactivity (MIR) value and does not contain any hazardous air pollutants (HAPs) and environmentally hazardous ingredients as well as ozone depleting or creating chemicals. Exhibits higher flash point, lesser flammability, very low toxicity, comparable physio-chemical characteristics, similar evaporation rate and surface tension, dispersion properties, greater solvency & solubility, improved flow characteristics, high loading capacity and 15-30% more efficiency in viscosity reduction to heptanes & other solvents requiring less solvent and decreasing costs. It is easy to distill, recycle, dries completely and leaves no surface residues. Suitable for adhesives used in industrial applications. BerdeSol™ is VOC-compliant in US and Canada and considered an Ultra-low VOC in South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) and CARB - California Air Resources Board.
ShiraSol™ is a benzene-free, non-carcinogenic, HAPs (hazardous air pollutants)-free, high purity and biodegradable grade. Acts as a VOC (volatile organic compound)-compliant, safe, low toxicity green solvent. Offers superior solvency, solubility and safety but similar evaporation rate to mineral spirits. Exhibits higher flash point, ultra low MIR and less flammability than aromatic 100, methyl amyl ketone and n-butyl acetate. It is recyclable and does not contain environmentally hazardous ingredients & ozone depleting or creating chemicals. It is easy to use, dries completely, leaves no surface residue and has excellent loading capacity. Shows 10 - 25% more efficiency in viscosity reduction than xylene. Suitable for solvent-based adhesive formulations.
