Replace Hydrocarbon Solvents

Switching from

Hydrocarbon Solvents

Switching from hydrocarbon solvents to alternative solvents with an improved EHS profile represents a significant stride towards a more sustainable and environmentally conscious approach in various industrial processes.

This transition brings about a multitude of technical, environmental, and health and safety benefits.

Switching from hydrocarbon solvents to alternative solvents with an improved EHS profile

ESTI CHEM offers different technical solutions depending of the process requirements, customer´s EHS ambitions, and the financial framework:

  • Using ESTISOL 242 or ESTISOL 190 as booster solvents for D-type hydrocarbon solvents. This enables the transition from aromatic solvents such as white spirit and solvent naphtha type materials to blends of 10-30% ESTISOL® and D-type solvents thereby avoiding aromatics. Such cleaners are used as cold cleaners on machine parts and heavily contaminated, painted surfaces.
  • Combining two to three ESTISOL® ester solvents to form ESTISOL®-based cold cleaners, which are non-VOC cleaners without CLP label. ESTISURF CC03 or ESTISURF M27 may be applied as emulsifiers to create water-washable formulations. Such formulations have the same applications as the traditional hydrocarbon-based cold cleaners, but with clear EHS benefits.
  • Using our best-in-class ESTICLEAN AR-PLUS MB water-in-oil microemulsion technology as cold cleaner. ESTICLEAN AR-PLUS MB is VOC-free, it has no CLP label, and is highly efficient for removing bitumen spots, cleaning heavy oils and other oily residues.
  • Using ESTISURF MF20 MB as base raw material for the formulation of water-dilutable microemulsion cleaners for all-round cleaning and degreasing.
