Sustainable bio-solvent replacement of dibasic esters (DBE) in many industrial applications. It has a great solvency power for acrylics, polyesters, epoxies, vinylics, phenolics, isocyanates, melamines, alkydics, polysulfones, MDI and furan resins. It’s used to formulate coatings and inks based on those resins as well. Very effectives in dissolving nitrocellulose, cellulose acetates, wood rosins and some kinds of chlorinated and fluorinated polymers. It’s used for cold degreasing in industrial settings to remove different kinds of resins and soils. ASTROBIO™ DS is used as a low VOC solvent in leather refinishing, to formulate sustainble paint strippers and in coil coating industry. It’s also a great choice to formulate industrial and household detergents. If needed, ASTROBIO™ DS evaporation rate can be increased when properly blended with ASTROBIO™
