Hydroxyl-free specialties
ASTROBIO™ NV:
Hydroxyl-free solvents for polyurethane
ASTROBIO™ NV grades are sustainable, bio-based solvent blends that are completely hydroxyl free, so they are compatible with systems containing reactive -NCO groups. They are used to formulate urethane coatings, adhesives, paints and inks, and bio-based paint strippers, PU cleaners and industrial detergents. The family has six grades: NV, NV3, NV5, NV9, NV11 and NV13.
