BioBased Products
Natural Solvents
When industrial users need to find a safe replacement for hazardous solvents, such as MEK, BIOBASED EUROPE has the answer with powerful, effective, plant-based solvents. SAFE CARE Safety Solvents include product formulations that are evaporative and non-evaporative with KB values ranging from 150 to over 1000.
SAFE CARE Safety Solvents contain no hazardous air pollutants and are 100% biodegradable. Our most versatile solvent, SC-Supersolv is water miscible, non-evaporative and ideal for use with the SAFE CARE aqueous cleaners. Other solvents such as SC-EZ-Solv™ are non-evaporative, not water miscible and can remove paints, inks and adhesives.
SAFE CARE® ActiSolv™ Safety Solvent
DESCRIPTION:
SC-ActiSolv™ is a low volatile, alcohol solvent derived from renewable plant-based resources. SC-ActiSolv may be used in a variety of cleaning applications including soy and water based printing inks. SC-ActiSolv™ may also be used as a co-solvent or solvent additive in non-ionic surfactant solutions for heavy -duty degreasing. Highly water-miscible, SC-ActiSolv™ may be free rinsed with hot or cold water and is intended to loosen hardened hydrocarbon soils. SC-ActiSolv™ is chemically non-reactive, storage stable and highly reusable for several weeks in conventional solvent recovery machines, ultrasonic degreasers and hand operations.
SC-ActiSolv™ complies with:
OSHA 29-CFR Ch. XVII 1910.1200 and 40 CFR Ch. 1, Subparts C & D
USEPA 600, 4-90, 027 for aquatic toxicity
USEPA 601 & 602 for VOC testing
US DOT: Class 55, Liquid Cleaning Compounds
SC-ActiSolv™ is a powerful replacement for:
Xylene
Toluene, Methyl benzene
Methyl Chloride
Stoddard
Glycol Ethers, Butyl Cellosolve
INSTRUCTIONS:
SC-ActiSolv™ may be sprayed on or applied with a cloth. Depending on the soil, allow the product to dwell before wiping soil from the cleaning surface. SC-ActiSolv™ may be used full-strength or diluted with water depending on the specific application. When water is added, SC-ActiSolv™ will become more of a release agent and less of a solvent. Suggest a water rinse to remove soil and residual product.
Suggested Dilutions:
Heavy Cleaning 100% - 50%
Average Cleaning 50% - 20%
Routine Maintenance 10% - 2%
BASIC PROPERTIES:
Appearance: Clear, pale yellow liquid
Odor: Slight detergent odor
Water Solubility: 100%
Boiling Point: 120ºC (248ºF)
Flash Point: 78.9ºC (174ºF)
Specific Gravity: 1.060
Relative Density: Greater than water
pH: 9.7

SAFE CARE® EZ-Solv™ Safety Solvent
DESCRIPTION:
SC-EZ-Solv™ Safety Solvent is an ideal non-evaporative all purpose solvent where long dwell time and continuous reusability are important. Comprised of soy ester and corn alcohol, SC-EZ-Solv™ has a KB value of 1000+ and non-reactive with most cleaning compounds. SC-EZ-Solv™ is not water miscible and is an ideal solvent for removing gum adhesives, organic resins, polyurethane, silicone, latex and acrylic paints, permanent markers and asphaltum.
SC-EZ-Solv™ complies with:
OSHA 29-CFR Ch. XVII 1910.1200 and 40 CFR Ch. 1, Subparts C & D
USEPA 600, 4-90, 027 for aquatic toxicity
USEPA 601 & 602 for VOC testing
USEPA Design for the Environment Program (DfE)
GSA SIN 375-362 & 375-363
US DOT: Class 55, Liquid Cleaning Compounds
SC-EZ-Solv™ is a powerful replacement for:
Xylene
Toluene, Methyl benzene
Ethyl Ketone
Glycol Ethers, Butyl Cellosolve
Kerosene, Mineral Oil
INSTRUCTIONS:
SC-EZ-Solv™ may be spray applied, or applied by a cloth, and allowed to dwell before being wiped from the cleaning surface. When removing graffiti or adhesive from painted surfaces, care must be taken to wash the SC-EZSolv™ from the surface after removal of the soil in order to prevent further solvating of the surface. SC-EZ-Solv™ will react with polystyrene, polysulphates, and acrylics, while prolonged exposure will cause some rubbers, PVC, EPDM and ABS to become brittle over time. SC-EZ-Solv™ also works effectively in ultrasonic cleaners and automatic parts washers.
BASIC PROPERTIES:
Appearance: Clear, slightly viscous light yellow liquid
Odor: Distinctive
Water Solubility: Not water soluble
Boiling Point: 144.4ºC (292ºF)
Flash Point: 65.5ºC (150ºF)
Specific Gravity: 0.946
Relative Density: Less than water
pH Range: 6.9
