Eliminate or reduce VOC Solvents - Make the Switch to
ESTISOL®
Do you want to REMOVE this symbol from the label of your cleaning product?
ESTI CHEM may have the SOLUTION that you are looking for!
ESTISOL® is the formulator's preferred alternative to aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons, limonene/orange terpenes and VOC-classified oxygenated solvents in formulated chemicals
ESTISOL® can work as straight solvent replacement, solvency booster, or carrier fluids in formulated products such as:
- Industrial cleaners, degreasers, blanket & roller washes, printing inks, hand cleaners, paint strippers, cold cleaners and automotive rinse aid.
- Cleaning solvents for removal of coating & polymeric residues such as adhesives, sealants and paints from blending vessels and equipment, tools, applicators, and packaging lines.
ESTISOL® features:
- Increases the flash point
- Removes or reduces CLP contribution from solvent components in the formulation
- Reduces the aspiration hazard
- Reduces the formulation odour
- Reduces the flammability risk when cleaning hot surfaces and by the use of a heated cleaning bath
Some ideas to look at for reformulation of your low-flash point solvent cleaners:

ESTISOL 165 |
• No CLP label |
ESTISOL 163 is an alternative when a mixture of ethyl acetate and ethanol shall be replaced |
White spirit, D40 (or other low-flash point HC) hydrocarbon solvent |
Degreasing of surfaces and metal workpieces |
ESTISOL 163 |
• No CLP label |
ESTISOL 210 and ESTISOL 242 can be used for non-VOC applications eventually in mixure with D100. ESTISURF M27emulsifier may be added to obtain water-washable products |
Cyclohexanone, PMAc, NMP, Butyrolactone and other polar solvents with high CLP labelling |
Cleaning of inks, adhesives, polymer residues |
ESTISOL 130 |
• Bio-based solvents |
ESTISOL 130 and ESTISOL 135 may be combined with glycol ethers such as DPM and hydrocarbons such as D80 in order to fine-tune solvent properties |
