Vertec BioSolvents Inc. provides environmentally friendly alternatives to traditional petroleum-based solvents. At Vertec, we place an emphasis on technology and sustainability, creating bio-based solvents designed to outperform their petrochemical counterparts. 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. Located in Chicago's technology corridor in the western suburbs, Vertec BioSolvents formed as a CRADA (Cooperative Research and Development Agreement) out of Argonne National Laboratories in the late 1990's. Since forming, Vertec BioSolvents has researched and developed proprietary and patented blends of bio-based solvents to perform equal or better to petroleum solvents. We also help customers incorporate bio-based solvents into existing customer formulations to reduce the impact on the environment.
