FORMULATION OF EXEMPT REPLACEMENTS FOR AROMATIC SOLVENTS

AIR POLLUTION LEGISLATION IN CALIFORNIA, IN EFFECT, REQUIRES THAT AROMATIC SOLVENTS BE REPLACED WITH EXEMPT MATERIALS. OXYGENATED SOLVENTS IN COMBINATION WITH LOW-AROMATIC HYDROCARBON THINNERS ARE BEING USED TO REPLACE THE RESTRICTED AROMATICS. SOLVENCY AND EVAPORATION RATE ARE THE TWO KEY PERFORMANCE FACTORS THAT MUST BE CONSIDERED IN DEVELOPING REPLACEMENT SOLVENTS. COST, ODOR, AND TOXICITY ARE ALSO IMPORTANT. THE USE & RELATIONSHIP OF VARIOUS TOOLS AVAILABLE FOR DEVELOPING SUITABLE AROMATIC REPLACEMENTS ARE DESCRIBED FOR THE GUIDANCE OF THE FORMULATOR. DATA ARE GIVEN FOR ILLUSTRATION. A PRACTICAL APPROACH TO REFORMULATION IS OUTLINED. /JPT/
