    ALKEST LV 1400

    Green Solvent

    Green cleaning chemicals refer to those chemicals which are made from environmental-friendly
    ingredients and are safe for human health and the environment. They are made from a renewable
    resource, and with some exceptions, generally do not contain synthetics.

    Green chemical-based formulations are already present in the market. The main issue with these
    chemicals is that though they can clean their performance in comparison with the industrial cleaning
    chemicals is not very effective. Thus, the market for these products is still very small and will take a long
    time to grow and compete with that of the industrial cleaning chemicals.

    ALKEST LV 1400 is a green solvent that changes the previously mentioned perceptions. It is based
    on a 100% naturally derived raw material, readily biodegradable, and promotes high efficiency. Its
    lipophilic nature allows a better interaction with oily soil leading to a high performance in cleaning and
    degreasing, which is especially true for I&I and household hard cleaning applications.

    ASSESSMENT

    Neutral pH cleaning formulations are safer for people, the environment and surfaces when compared
    to acidic or alkaline cleaners. Neutral pH presents a lower potential for environmental harm and
    inhalation, oral and dermal toxicity.

    ALKEST LV 1400 allows neutral pH formulations (the use of acids and bases compromises
    ALKEST LV 1400’s stability in aqueous environments). Neutral pH cleaners formulated with
    ALKEST LV 1400 do not demand protective gloves to minimize contact of the product with the
    skin thus enhancing safer cleaning.
