ShiraSol – A Breakthrough Safe, Green, Versatile, Zero VOC Solvent to Replace Mineral Spirits and Other Slow Evaporating Solvents. | The Green Solvents Show #004
November 19, 2015

ShiraSol replaces slow evaporating and toxic solvents like mineral spirits, white spirits, and paint thinners. It has better solvency and an evaporation rate similar to mineral spirits. ShiraSol may work as a primary or co-solvent in aliphatic,

TBF Develops ZemaSol™, a Widely Applicable, Safer and VOC-compliant Solvent| The Green Solvents Show #003
November 03, 2015

ZemaSol™ is a very effective and efficient solvent alternative for xylene, Parachlorobenzotrifluoride (PCBTF), Tertiary Butyl Acetate (TBAc) or toluene. A multi-purpose and cost-effective solvent, ZemaSol™ is widely used in industrial cleaning and form...

TBF Develops Safer, Non-polluting Solvents | The Green Solvents Show #002
November 02, 2015

TBF has developed alternative solvents which emit very low or zero levels of VOCs and are considered VOC-compliant, non-HAPs, do not create or deplete ozone, and are less toxic. TBF solvents, however, perform as well or better as the solvents they rep...

The Story Behind TBF Environmental – Developing new VOC Compliant Solvents Safe for the Environment | The Green Solvents Show #001
November 02, 2015

Many solvents used in industry contain volatile organic compounds. When emitted to the atmosphere, VOCs contribute to the formation of ground-level ozone which produces smog. VOCs are also harmful to human health.

MIR in Determining Formulation of Paints Coatings, Inks and Other Products | The Green Solvents Show #014
March 06, 2015

To be compliant with regulations, manufacturers will need to consider the impact of the Maximum Incremental Reactivity (MIR) value on the ability to sell products in certain states and regions.

Maximum Incremental Reactivity (MIR) and the Environment | The Green Solvents Show #013
March 06, 2015

Volatile Organic Compounds released from solvents react with nitro-oxides in the presence of sunlight to form urban smog. VOCs are also detrimental to human health. But the Maximum Incremental Reactivity (MIR) values of solvents are a new tool used to reg

What is MIR Value and Why is it Important? | The Green Solvents Show #012
September 30, 2014

The Green Solvents Show #012 The Maximum Incremental Reactivity (MIR) value measures the tendency of a chemical to form ground-level ozone and smog. Air pollution control regulators are looking to regulate the use of solvents in coatings based on thei...
