Keywords Chemoxy, Publication, Safety, Solvents
Chemoxy International has published a six-page, full colour brochure which outlines the extensive range of industrial applications for which the company's solvent products are suitable.
The Safer Solvents brochure explains the pressure for change that increasingly stringent safety and environmental regulations worldwide are placing on the use of solvents in the industrial sector and outlines Chemoxy's solution to these challenges.
All of Chemoxy's Safer Solvent range claim the following characteristics compared with existing solvents: low odour, low evaporation, low toxicity, low VOC content, excellent solvency, less formulation volume, higher flash points and compliance with existing legislation.
The brochure pinpoints the applications potential of Chemoxy's major solvent products which include Estasol, Coasol, ethyl lactate, butyl lactate, ethyl propionate, butyl propionate, isoamyl alcohol and 2-ethyl hexyl decanoate.
Tabulated data also featured in the brochure provides an easy-reference guide to show which existing solvents Chemoxy's portfolio can replace.
Estasol is one of Chemoxy's flagship solvent products and can be used for a wide range of industrial and general cleaning applications, is a low toxicity, safe to handle solvent that is believed to be an ideal replacement for solvents such as isophorone, glycol ethers, glycol ether acetates, cyclohexanone and many other solvents.
For paints and coatings applications Chemoxy's Coasol solvent reportedly provides a high performance but cost-effective alternative to traditional coalescing agents in emulsion paint systems and is thought to have proved popular with paint formulators since its was confirmed as a non-VOC by the UK Ecolabelling Board.
Estasol and Coasol solvents are mixtures of refined dimethyl and di-isobutyl esters, respectively of adipic, glutaric and succinic acids.
