Safe Solvent Formulator (SSF)
SSF (Environmentally Friendly Mutual Solvent)
Heartland Energy Group, Ltd. is pleased to offer an environmentally friendly and direct replacement for EB (2-butoxyethanol); commonly referred to as “Butyl” or mutual solvent. Heartland’s SSF is a colorless and highly pure solvent replacement that is derived from renewable and sustainable sources. SSF is a great alternative to formulations where non petroleum based and “green” ingredients are desired. Benefits of SSF include its purity, lack of irritation and sensitization and environmentally friendly nature.
Due to the nature of SSF’s structure, SSF can attack both water soluble dirt and water insoluble oils and greases making it a valuable tool for the oilfield. SSF is compatible with Oil Safe AR®. SSF is non-DOT regulated, non-fuming, OSHA and EPA compliant. SSF qualifies as an EPA approved Designed for the Environment product.
SSF can be used as a key “green” replacement ingredient in the production of cleaners, degreasers, water-based coatings, solvent based coating systems and acid-solvent combination treatment systems for the oilfield.
