Replace N Methyl Pyrrolidone(NMP) with Proglyme, Ethyl Diglyme and 1,3 Dioxolane.

by Steve Pekarcik July 11, 2011 20:31

Novolyte offers multiple options for customers looking to replace N Methyl Pyrrolidone (NMP) in coatings and other applications.  NMP has been discovered to be a reproductive toxin and many formulators will need to replace NMP.  Novolyte has many lower toxicity alternatives that have successfully replaced NMP in various application.  Our NMP replacement products are; Polyglyme, Ethyl Diglyme and 1,3 Dioxolane.  Proglyme and Ethyl Diglyme are very stable glycol diethers, while 1,3 Dioxolane excells as a small molecule, powerful solubilizing and penetrating solvent in polymer applications.  All share the same aprotic properties of NMP.  You can find out more by visting our website at www.novolyte.com

1,3 Dioxolane as Methyl Ethyl Ketone (MEK) Replacement

by Steve Pekarcik May 5, 2011 22:40
Novolyte’s 1,3 Dioxolane has successfully replaced MEK in many applications due to its strong solvency and superior toxological profile. 1,3 Dioxolane is a highly polar, aprotic solvent which excels in solubilizing polar polymers such as polyesters and vinyls. In addition, 1,3 Dioxolane is completely miscible in water and common organic solvents. To find out more about 1,3 Dioxolane as a MEK replacement please visit our website at www.novolyte.com/performance-materials/high-performance-solvents/dioxolane.aspx
