Cleaning Solvents

Cleaning SolventsSYLVASOLV oils’ high solvency power performs exceptionally well in cleaning difficult hydrophobic materials such as grease, tar, and other tough soils. These oils find use in various cleaning applications, including degreasers, heavy-duty hand washers, tank, and rail car cleaning, and hard surface cleaners.

 

Defoamers

defoamer-tabSYLVASOLV oils can be used as a carrier for active ingredients in oil-based defoamers, which provide optimum compatibility-incompatibility balance for effective prevention and destruction of foam in various industrial processes. Reduction of foam can allow for more consistent packaging weights, reduce damage to equipment, improve production process and product quality, and reduce defects in surface coatings. Defoamers formulated with SYLVASOLV oils can be applied in many applications, including paint and varnishes.

Fertilizer Coatings

SYLVASOLV™SYLVASOLV™ oils are 100% biobased and are used in various fertilizer coating applications to control dust and provide anticaking properties during handling, transportation, storage, and use. These bio-oils are liquid at room temperature, making them suitable for spraying and use without the need to heat. Further, their excellent solvency power provides improved optionality in formulating, allowing for lower viscosity and safer handling due to their low-temperature properties.

 

Plasticizer for Coatings

SYLVASOLV™SYLVASOLV oils can be used as plasticizers in epoxy and polyurethane-based protective coatings to optimize elasticity, hardness, adhesion to substrates, and dry-film appearance. These oils are a non-flammable, sustainable option to reduce glass transition temperature and increase plasticity and fluidity to enable proper film formation.

SYLVASOLV™

Structural Adhesives

SYLVASOLV™ oils are 100% biobased additives for use as a plasticizer in structural adhesives. In typical structural adhesive formulations, SYLVASOLV oils can reduce the product’s carbon footprint when replacing di-benzoate esters and polyester adipates.2 These oils are a non-flammable, sustainable option to improve tensile elongation and flexibility of structural adhesive formulations without affecting adhesive strength.
