Application
The bio-sourced Xylene replacement is a solvent blend used in electronics cleaning and ink compositions. It has superior cleaning power and lower solvent usage when compared to Xylene, as well as good performance, outstanding solvency, and a variable solvent blend for ink formulations with high loading capacity.
It is easily recycled via distillation for recurrent reuse and contains no GHGs or hazardous air pollutants.
