Greener Solvents
Why choose between sustainability and reliability when you can have both?
Our bio-based and greener solvents adhere to the 12 Principles of Green Chemistry, support safer, more sustainable, and resource-efficient procedures while preserving the performance necessary for high-quality chemical research and manufacturing. These solutions are intended to reduce environmental impact, minimize harmful byproducts, and adhere to scientific and regulatory standards, ensuring maximum effectiveness without compromise.
Explore our selection of bio-based and greener solvents and take a significant step towards more sustainable innovation.
Bio-Based Drop-in Replacements
Solvents produced from renewable biological sources that can replace traditional petrochemical solvents in existing processes without requiring modifications. As chemically identical alternatives, these solvents provide the same performance and efficacy while providing environmental benefits such as less reliance on fossil fuels and a lower carbon footprint.
Bio-Based Alternative Solvents
Solvents derived from renewable feedstocks offer a more sustainable alternative to traditional hazardous or regulated solvents used in laboratories and industry. They minimize environmental impact and health risks while providing comparable performance for the intended uses.

Hexane, Toluene, and Dichloromethane | Dihydropinene | 938114 | 100% |
Greener Alternative Solvents
These solvents are more sustainable alternatives to traditional solvents, which are hazardous to human health and the environment. They are designed in accordance with Green Chemistry principles, with an emphasis on lowering toxicity, increasing biodegradability, limiting environmental persistence, and promoting handling and disposal safety.
| Petroleum-Based Solvent | Greener Alternative | Product Number |
|---|---|---|
NMP & DMF | 1-Butylpyrrolidin-2-one | |
THF | Cyclopentyl methyl ether | |
DCM | Ethyl acetate/Ethanol 3:1 (v/v) solution | |
Hexane | Heptane | |
Dimethyl sulfate & Methyl halides | Dimethyl Carbonate (DMC) |
Bio-Based Ethanol
Ethanol is a greener solvent with a favorable sustainability profile, aligning with the 12 Principles of Green Chemistry. It supports the principles of "Safer Solvents and Auxiliaries" by reducing hazardous chemical use and "Use of Renewable Feedstocks" by being derived from sustainable biological sources.
