Sustainable Replacement for butyl acetate in many industrial applications. It can be used to formulate coatings, laquers, paints, varniches and inks based on alkydic, acrylics, epoxies, vinylics, melamines, and polyamides resins. It has a great solvency power for nitrocellulose and wood rosins as well. It’s very effectives as cleaner in industrial settings: i.e. for rollers, industrial and professional application tools for paints and coatings. ASTROBIO™ BA is used to formulate ecological paint strippers to remove PU based coatings and as a sustainable replacement for butyl acetate in leather finishing and manufacturing. It’s available in cosmetic grade for the formulation of nail varniches and polishers.

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.
