DOWNERS GROVE, IL - Vertec BioSolvents has announced that its project, “Biosolvents for Coatings, Resins and Biobased Materials,” won a major two-year grant from the Department of Energy (DOE). The primary focus of this work is the replacement of petroleum-based solvents with renewable-resource-based biosolvents for widespread applications in the coatings industry.
Vertec BioSolvents has developed and commercialized new proprietary blends of biosolvents that provide superior price performance for several specialty coatings applications. The recently introduced ELSOL™ blend overcomes the odor-related issues of lactate esters. The objective of this project is to expand the use of biobased solvents for large-volume applications in the coatings industry.
