Customer stories

Three replacements already at work for our customers.

machinery cleaning

ASTROBIO™ AP instead of NMP

Polyester residues removed without NMP

Several customers use ASTROBIO™ AP to remove saturated and unsaturated polyester residues from industrial plants after polymerisation. Its high solvency towards these polyesters lets them use less solvent and better protect their workers.

ASTROBIO™ SR instead of D60

Bio-based automotive lubricants without white spirit

European customers use ASTROBIO™ SR instead of dearomatised paraffins (D60) to dilute lubricant bases. The final product gets a better label, a better ecotoxicological profile and a higher bio-based content, above all when the base also comes from renewable sources.

ASTROBIO™ XT instead of xylene

Intumescent paints formulated without xylene

Several European paint and coatings producers use ASTROBIO™ XT instead of xylene, with excellent results in intumescent paints. They improve working conditions and the labelling of their formulations while meeting local and European obligations.
