Bio-based green solvents for formulating and cleaning. These sustainable, bio-based solvents and solvent blends are derived from corn, soybeans, citrus, and other renewable feedstocks. These biosolvents are based on ethyl lactate, fatty acid methyl esters, d-limonene, and ethanol. The main ingredient is VertecBio EL Ethyl LActate, an ester solvent derived from corn or sugar beets. They can be used in agricultural and industrial applications. Biosolvents can be used to form environmentally friendly herbicides, pesticides, and growth enhancers. They can also be used to produce highly effective, environmentally friendly, and safer methods for paint fun and line flush cleanings. They can even be used to clean, dissolve, or sanitize materials. Essentially, these biosolvents are applicable in any industry where petroleum solvents are used. Because these biosolvents are made from renewable feedstocks, they can biodegrade into lactic acid and other organic compounds that are safe for the environment. They also have a net reduced carbon footprint because the feedstock undergoes photosynthesis.
