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

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.
