Does Bio-Solv release VOCs into the atmosphere?
Yes, Bio-Solv and all solvents, chemicals, coatings and fuels that evaporate and are made of compounds that contain carbon are VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds). Bio-Solv does not contain or release Hazardous Air Pollutants “HAPs” or Toxic Air pollutants “TAPs” into the air. Everyone is concerned about their “Carbon Footprint” and the amount of carbon or VOCs released into our air because VOC emissions are linked to SMOG, air pollution and global warming. But not all VOCs are the same and not all solvents work in the same way. Two important points to consider when comparing VOC emissions of solvents: Evaporation Rate: Acetone evaporates 6 times (or more) faster than Bio-Solv because of it’s high vapor pressure. Since a solvent needs to remain liquid in order to clean, Bio-Solv’s low vapor pressure and resulting low evaporation rate is the main reason it lasts 5 to 10 times longer than acetone. This means that acetone emits 5 to 10 times more VOCs into the air than Bio-Solv for the same
