Solvent Substitution Strategies for Finishers
Along with a desire to reduce flammability, enhance worker health and safety, and reduce costs, the solvent selection process has become increasingly complex. In-house evaluation of alternative solvents can be aided by understanding: 1) the Hansen solubility parameters of surfaces, soils and solvents; 2) solvent selection to fit within an EHS profile; and 3) solvent blending to maximize performance.
