Press Release Summary:
Necosolv-TB offers Kauri-Butanol (K-B) Value of 106 to serve as alternative to Toluene, which is often used as thinner for paints as well as for degreasing and cleaning surfaces. While facilitating compliance with health/safety considerations, non-flammable Necosolv-TB does not qualify as Hazardous Air Pollutant and offers low toxicity. Boiling point is 114°C, and there is no flashpoint.
Original Press Release:
Necotek Solutions provides Non-Flammable NECOSOLV-TB Alternative to Toluene with Same Solvency Power
Toluene is well known as an excellent solvent – often used as thinner for paints as well as for degreasing and cleaning surfaces, since it has high solvency power, as demonstrated by its high Kauri-Butanol (K-B) Value of 105. However, Toluene is known to be a difficult chemical from health/safety considerations and has been discussed often as needing an alternative/replacement to be available.
Necotek Solutions developed Necosolv-TB to address this situation – providing a strong solvent that is safer as well as being non-flammable:
• Not a “Hazardous Air Pollutant”
• Low Toxicity
Comparison of Necosolv-TB and Toluene is given here:
KAURI-BUTANOL VALUES -- K-B along with bp (boiling point) & FlashPoint (FLP)
K-Bbp (C)FLP (F)NECOSOLV-TB106114none*TOLUENE10511140
*FLASH POINT: Not Applicable (No Flash Observed) by Pensky Martens Closed Cup -- ASTM D93
Necosolv-TB as an alternative and replacement for Toluene should be of interest to anyone using Toluene regularly.
