Bio-based solvent blend replacement of D40 in many industrial applications. ASTROBIO™ K 4 0 has a high solvent activity, slow evaporation rate, low density and high boiling point. It’s used to formulate coatings, adhesives, paints and inks based on acrylics, epoxies, alkydics, vinylics, polyesters, melamines, urethanes, phenolics and ABS resins. It has a great solvency power for rosins, nitrocellulose, modified cellulose and some kinds of nylons as well. It’s also used for formulating sustainable paint strippers, graffiti removers, industrial and household detergents. ASTROBIO™ K 4 0 can be used in auto refinishing, formulation of lubricants and industrial coatings. It’s also used for cold degreasing in industrial settings to remove different kinds of resins and soils.

Sustainable and bio-based solvent blends ideal for urethane coating formulations. ASTROBIO™ NV grades are completely hydroxyl free specialties so they are compatible with systems containing reactive -NCO groups. They are used to formulate coatings, adhesives, paints and inks based on acrylics, epoxies, alkydics, vinylics, polyesters, melamines, urethanes, phenolics, MDI and ABS resins. They have great solvency power for wood rosins, modified rosins, nitrocellulose, modified cellulose, some chlorinated polymers and nylons as well. ASTROBIO™ NV grades are also a great choice for formulating bio-based and sustainable paint strippers, PU cleaners, machinery and industrial detergents.
