Common applications for our biosolvents include:

• Agriculture
• Inks
• Paint and coatings
• Petroleum
• Industrial Manufacturing

Our biosolvents are continuously being tested for new applications. We provide an alternative wherever petroleum-based solvents are used.

Vertec provides your business with effective, green alternatives to petroleum-based solvents. "Environmentally friendly" and "high performing" are no longer mutually exclusive. Our products are primarily derived from corn, soybeans, citrus fruits and other renewable feedstocks and complimentary additives. They are environmentally friendly, high performing, and based primarily on four ingredients:

• Ethyl lactate
• Fatty acid methyl esters (soy methyl esters)
• d-limonene
• Ethanol

A Focus on Sustainability with Performance

At Vertec Biosolvents Inc., we are focused on the core tenants of sustainability: protecting the environment, balancing a growing economy, and social responsibility. We maintain this focus while creating a line of high-performing, powerful industrial solvents with a wide variety of applications.

Protecting the Environment

Our products are manufactured with renewable ingredients: corn, soy, citrus fruits, wood by-products, and other bio-feedstocks. We offer a biodegradable line of solvents that break down into lactic acid and other organic compounds that are safely consumed into the water and soil. This all adds up to a powerful and environmentally friendly alternative to petrochemical solvents.

Bio-based solvents have a reduced carbon footprint. Whereas petroleum-based solvents add "virgin carbon" to the environment, biosolvent carbon comes through photosynthesis, where CO2 is captured from the atmosphere by a plant. This balances the CO2 released when a biosolvent is used in your formulation or cleaning application. Replacing petroleum-based solvents with Vertec BioSolvents has a positive impact on reducing greenhouse gases.

Balancing A Growing Economy

Since our raw materials come from within the U.S. and around the world, we are not dependent upon one region for our supplies. Because of this, we offer our customers added price stability, and slow down the depletion of finite resources within the U.S. and around the world.

Social Responsibility

Our products are made without any hazardous air pollutants (HAPs) and are not damaging to the ozone. They are safe and high performance alternatives to petrochemical solvents for you and your employees. None of our products are listed on California Proposition 65.
