Solvent Replacement and Rebalancing |
| |
If you have a solvent blend which you would like to change to: ...Reduce or eliminate an expensive or toxic component ...Raise or lower the flash point or drying time ...Increase the KB value or solvency ability ...Reduce the level of an odorous component ...Include a solvent of your choice and utilize most of the same components that are in the product now.
Solvent Engineering's proprietary Hansen Solubility Parameter data base and programing may allow you to do just that. Our software allows us to match a given solvent's solubility characteristics with a blend of other solvents of the same or differing flash points, odor, etc. The 500 solvents in the data base include most of the widely used, commercially available materials, but we can add your choice, however exotic. |

| |
What you provide:
| |
The current solvent or blend composition |
| |
What you want to change |
| |
What characteristics you want to keep about the same (flash point,etc.), and the acceptable limits |
| |
What ingredients you want to use as replacements, if you have some in mind |
| |
Your current costs and the cost constraints or target you have on the replacement blend | |
| |
What you get:
| |
Within the limits of the available solvents and the goals and constraints given: |
| |
|
Up to five (5) replacement blend composition print outs with cost and specific gravity estimates for each blend. |
| |
|
Up to five (5) blends of two or three solvents from a group of solvents of your choice, to replace the undesirable component(s) on a "drop in", i.e. 1:1 basis. Feasibility constraints are highest for this goal. | |
