Why Bio-based Ethyl Lactate is the Smart Choice

In industries ranging from paint removal to ink cleaning, solvents remain indispensable. Yet traditional options like acetone and methylene chloride pose significant risks—both to human health and the environment. The good news? A safer, greener alternative has emerged: ethyl lactate, a bio-based solvent that delivers performance without compromise.

What is Ethyl Lactate?

Derived through a sustainable esterification process of ethyl alcohol and lactic acid (naturally found in milk and soy sauce), ethyl lactate is a biodegradable, non-toxic solution.

Key Advantages of Bio-based Ethyl Lactate

1. Worker Safety Redefined

◦ Non-carcinogenic & Non-toxic: Unlike hazardous solvents, ethyl lactate does not cause reproductive harm or immunotoxicity.

◦ User-Friendly: Requires minimal PPE (protective clothing/ventilation) compared to volatile organic compounds (VOCs).

2. Planet-Friendly Chemistry

◦ 100% Biodegradable: Breaks down naturally without leaving harmful residues.

◦ Low Carbon Footprint: Manufactured from renewable plant sources (e.g., corn, sugarcane).

3. Cost-Effective Performance

◦ Competitive Pricing: Advancements in production technology have slashed costs, making it price-competitive with conventional solvents. ◦ Proven Results: Already replacing millions of tons of toxic solvents in adhesives, coatings, and cleaning products.
