- Comparison to Hydrocarbons
BioSol-H460 can be used by formulators in the developemnt of more environmentally compliant formulations. It is an excellent non-hazardous, non-HAP low odor alternative to aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbon solvents. Unlike hydrocarbon solvents which ae HAP’s, 100% VOC and can contain carcinogens, BioSol-H460 contains no carcinogens or sensitizers. It is safer to use in production, safer worker health, and safer for the environment.
Applications & Uses
- Markets
- Application
- Excellent solvent alternative for acrylic, urethane, epoxy and alkyd systems
- Excellent low odor, non-HAP, non-VOC alternative to aromatic and aliphatic solvents with appropriate (if needed) and/or reformulation work.
- Replaces hydrocarbons, esters, glycol ethers and ketones, which are regulated by the US EPAv and Safe Drinking Water Act.
- Used in formulating coatings, paints, sealers, inks, adhesives, cleaners.

- VOC Status
BioSol-H460 contains dimethyl carbonate which was delisted by the US EPA as a VOC e_x001d_ective Feb. 2009. As of Nov. 2011 state level exemptions were approved in 45 states in the USA and approval is nearly completed in the remaining states. In California no blanket exemption exists for dimethyl carbonate as a VOC within the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD). At this time it is best to con_x001c_rm VOC status with the local air boards. Dimethyl carbonate is VOC exempt by the European Economic Community (EEC). Depending on the prevailing regulations, the VOC content of BioSol-H460 is either 0% or 30%.
