After conducting extensive and comprehensive research, Vertec developed a bio-based replacement solvent for cyclohexanone called VertecBio™ELSOL® CXR. It has all the benefits of the toxic solvent but is environmentally friendly. It can be used wherever petroleum-based products are used.


For example, some examples of how it is used as an exact replacement solvent for cyclohexanone include:


  • As a solvent in cleaning products.
  • A solvent blend used in solvent formulations.
  • In paints and coatings.
  • In ink formulations.
  • The replacement leaves no residue and is up to 30 percent more efficient in viscosity reduction than cyclohexanone. It flows far better than any petroleum solvents.
  • The bio-based replacement is easy and inexpensive to distill or recycle.
