Performance

NXT SOLV 100 has an excellent EH&S profile. It is a non-flammable solvent, with low volatility, as well as beingvnon-sensitizing and non-toxic - only skin and eye irritating. It has an outstanding performance as a degreasing agent, especially if some polarity is required. It brings strong solvency across a broad range of organic functionalities with low to no foaming. It is a solubilizer 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.
