FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:


Vertec BioSolvents, Inc. Introduces the ELSOL™ Product Line, Sustainable Technology with Products Designed as Biobased Drop in Replacements for Existing Petroleum Based Solvents

Downers Grove, IL 2/20/09 – Vertec BioSolvents, Inc is proud to announce the new ELSOL™-line. VertecBio ELSOL™ is a line of patent pending, breakthrough products designed to directly replace petroleum solvents with Sustainable, BioBased, HAPS Free, Carbon Neutral solvents that are both Employee and Environmentally Friendly.  ELSOL blends show a 20% - 30% increase in efficiency over petroleum solvents, making them ideal for formulation of both low and higher solids products. 
 
Testing has been completed on the ELSOL™ product line versus petroleum as reduction solvents for paint, coatings and inks by several major manufacturers.  It was found that the ELSOL™ product line produced the same characteristics as their petroleum based counterparts with about 25% less solvent usage, better flow characteristics and much improved toxicity and environmental profiles.

ELSOL™ products are biobased replacements for hazardous petroleum based solvents, made from green, carbon neutral, sustainable biodegradable chemistry.  They are an EPA approved SNAP solvent that contains no HAPS, and no environmentally hazardous chemicals.  They are completely safe, non-toxic and non carcinogenic alternative to petroleum based solvents.

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