Biosolvent Technologies Improve Industrial Processes

Vertec Biosolvents Inc. produces environmentally friendly and powerful alternatives to petroleum-based solvents. Our products perform at the highest standards for a variety of industries and applications.


We are always experimenting with the latest technologies to create green solvents that better serve our customers' needs.

Paint Line Cleaning Technology

An independent report prepared for the U.S. Airforce by NCI Information Systems Inc. ranked two bio-based green solvents from Vertec Biosolvents Inc. among the best materials for paint line cleaning performance. The study field-tested 33 commercially available paint line cleaners, and evaluated physical characteristics and cleaning performance.


VertecBio™ Citrus, VertecBio Gold®, and a product that contained glycol ethers and NMP (both considered hazardous) emerged on top.

Low Odor
Biosolvents for Multiple Applications

Vertec BioSolvents Inc. has achieved a major breakthrough in lactate ester technology. Lactate esters have always been highly effective, but minimally used due to strong characteristic odor. At Vertec, we discovered that blending lactate esters with certain specific alcohols can overcome the odor and tolerance issues that inhibited its use.


This technology breakthrough expands potential for further application of bio-based green solvents as replacement for petrochemical solvents. Some potential applications for this breakthrough include precision cleaning of critical metal or composite parts in the electronics or aircraft industries.

High Performance Bio-Based Solvents for Digital Inks

A major manufacturer of digital inkjet printing inks replaced several toxic, petroleum-based solvents in their formulations with our high-performance, bio-based green solvents. This manufacturer was able to commercialize the product after successful tests and approvals.


VertecBio™ ELSOL® NMPR:

  • Replace cyclohexanone, n-methyl pyrrolidone and other solvents in formulations.
  • High solvency for pigments, resins and other components.
  • Good penetration for vinyl and other substrates.
  • Moderate evaporation rate (0.22 on BuAc = 1 scale).
  • Flash point over 145o F eliminates OSHA flammable liquid compliance.


Biosolvents For Plastic Recycling

Recycling plastics using biosolvents as alternatives to petroleum-based solutions can result in recycled plastics safe enough for use in food and drink packaging. A recycling plant using VertecBio™ EL would not need any special waste permits, further reducing operating cost.
