Vertec BioSolvents, Inc. Introduces BioBased ELSOL™-LQ to Replace Toluene for Cleaning Lacquers

Downers Grove, IL 4/28/08 – Vertec BioSolvents, Inc is proud to announce the new ELSOL™-LQ blend.  It has been discovered that biobased ELSOL™-LQ has a vastly superior cleaning capability over toluene when cleaning lacquers used in the inks and coatings markets.

Testing has been completed on ELSOL™-LQ versus toluene as a cleaning solvent for lacquers by several major manufacturers.  It was found that the ELSOL™-LQ cleaned lacquers faster, and with less solvent usage than toluene.  This leads to cost savings from faster color changes, less clean up time, lower solvent usage, and lower waste disposal costs.

ELSOL™-LQ is a 100% biobased replacement for toluene made from green, carbon neutral, sustainable chemistry that is completely biodegradable.  It is an EPA approved SNAP solvent that contains no HAPS, and no environmentally hazardous chemicals.  It is a completely safe, non-toxic and non carcinogenic alternative to petroleum based solvents.

For additional information on ELSOL™-LQ, contact Jerry Vasek at (630) 960-0600 or visit www.vertecbiosolvents.com.
