Meets The Toughest Health, Safety and Environmental Guidelines

(Mt. Prospect, IL) Vertec BioSolvents, Inc. has combined the safety and environmental benefits of a green solvent with the performance and price of a

petrochemical solvent to introduce a family of corn-derived ethyl lactate products. 

"Our bio-based solvents provide exceptional functional performance, while also facilitating compliance with ever increasing environmental regulations governing the manufacture, use and disposal of solvents ," comments Vertec BioSolvents President Jim Opre.

Competitively-priced compared to petrochemical solvents, Vertec solvents offer both an economical and practical solution for a wide range of applications. Ideally suited as circuit board cleaners and precision cleaners, they dry without leaving a residue. And with a low metals profile, Vertec solvents can be recommended for formulated products that are used in various electronics applications.

An environmentally sound alternative to other chemistries, Vertec solvents, which are derived from corn,  are 100% biodegradable. They break down into only carbon dioxide and water; they are easy and inexpensive to recycle; they are EPA-approved SNAP (Significant New Alternative Policy Program) solvents; they are non ozone-depleting, non carcinogenic, non corrosive, not HAP (hazardous air pollutant) and not SARA (Superfund Amendment Reauthorization Act) 313 reportable. There are no environmentally hazardous ingredients and no global warming compounds.

Both solvent grade ethyl lactate and high purity ethyl lactate are available in 55-gallon drums and bulk quantities.  For more information on Vertec solvents, including pricing, call 847-803-0575; or e-mail:  ntecversol@aol.com ; or visit the company web site at: www.vertecbiosolvents.com
