NXT SOLV 200 is a proprietary Butyl levulinate solvent. The materials are bio-derived from (hemi)cellulosic feedstock and are a sustainable replacement for a number of materials including dibasic esters, glycol ether acetates and d-limonene.
NXT SOLV 200 has a low volatility and an excellent EH&S profile, is non-flammable, non-combustible, non-toxic, slightly skin irritating and eye irritating. It is non-sensitising and has an outstanding performance as a degreasing agent, especially if also some polarity is required.
NXT SOLV 200 brings strong solvency across a broad range of organic functionalities with low to no foaming. It is a clear liquid with a low or no odour profile. It is a degreaser and a solubiliser for both polar and apolar compounds. Its polymer solvency dissolves a broad range of polymeric binders making it a powerful component for resin and pigment clean-up and removal operations.
NXT SOLV 200 may be used in a broad array of formulations solvent based as well as aqueous formulations. Applications include degreasers, polymer removers, carrier or process solvents, cleaners, detergents and many others.
