Crosolv™ G is a green, non-volatile solvent that was developed as part of our commitment to offering high performance, environmentally friendly cleaning products. As VOC regulations increase and solvent use is limited, formulators are seeking green technologies that comply with regulations like the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD). By using Crosolv™ G, formulators can create products that provide easy handling and promotes worker safety.

Crosolv G was tested against d-limonene and a Design for Environment (DfE) approved glycol ether. In these studies, various greases were spread onto different substrates via a draw-down bar. Five drops of Crosolv G, dlimonene, and glycol ether were then applied onto the grease and allowed to sit for three to thirty minutes before being rinsed under a light steady stream of cold water.
Figure 1: Industrial red grease on stainless steel. This example highlights Crosolv G’s effectiveness on stainless steel surfaces. An industrial red grease was applied to stainless steel, and Crosolv G performed as well as dLimonene. Crosolv G removed the grease down to the surface, while the glycol ether left a visible oily film.
