Greener Solvents
Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, GermanyThe chemicals we use have a wide range of applications and performance impacts, as well as a many impacts on health and safety. Therefore, Merck Millipore offers greener alternatives for the following solvents: Alcohols, Ethers, Esters, Organic Carbonates, Polyethylene glycole (PEG) 200, 300, 400, 600, Volatile methyl siloxanes and 4-Hydroxy-4-methyl-2-pentanone. Less toxic and less hazardous (acc. to Classification, Labelling and Packaging (CLP, Europe) regulation) Higher biodegradability (acc. Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD)) Easy to recycle, and reduced waste stream Higher boiling point compared to conventional solvents Less volatility Reduction of solvent loss and energy savings
