BerdeSol™ is a VOC-compliant, low-toxicity solvent that provides a safe, cost-effective alternative to heptane for cleaning and co-solvent applications. Benzene-free, non-carcinogenic, and biodegradable, it contains no hazardous air pollutants (HAPs), ozone-depleting chemicals, or environmentally hazardous ingredients. Classified as a Zero VOC solvent in all 50 U.S. states, including SCAQMD*, and in Canada**, BerdeSol™ helps manufacturers meet environmental regulations while delivering outstanding performance. It offers superior solvency and solubility, improved flow characteristics, excellent loading capacity, and 15–30% greater viscosity reduction efficiency than heptane, often requiring less solvent to achieve the same results. With a higher flash point, a comparable evaporation rate, and residue-free drying, BerdeSol™ is well suited for use as a cleaner, degreaser, primary solvent, or co-solvent in automotive, brake, adhesive, printing, electronic, and precision cleaning applications, as well as in paints, coatings, adhesives, rubber cement, waterproofing compounds, vegetable and essential oil extraction, and polymer dissolution.
