Crosolv™ 30 (EBC Crosolv™ 30)

Crosolv™ 30 is a remarkable low VOC green solvent known for its biodegradability, safety, and environmentally friendly properties. Specifically designed for household and I&I aqueous cleaning formulations, this solvent offers excellent performance against greasy soils even at low use rates of 0.3-3% when combined with non-ionic surfactants. Whether used neat or as a dilutable concentrate with higher surfactant levels, Crosolv™ delivers outstanding cleaning power while maintaining its eco-friendly characteristics.

Technical Details & Test Data

Water Solubility and Formulating

Crosolv 30 have low solubility in pure water, <0.1% by weight, however, they are easily solubilised in surfactant solutions, especially using non-ionic cleaning surfactants such as NatSurf™ 265 or Brij™ L7.

Minimum ratio of surfactant/solvent to solubilise green solvent in water

Green solvent In formulation NatSurf 265 Brij L7
Crosolv 30 3.5 : 1 4.5 : 1

The NatSurf 265/Crosolv blend represents a powerful degreasing combination!

Applications Testing – Crude Oil Cleaning

Additional testing was completed to compare the enhanced cleaning on pure crude oil. In this test Weatherford crude was spread on steel panels that were then submerged in a solution of NatSurf 265 + Crosolv 30 blend and NatSurf 265 alone. As shown in Figure 5, the panel submerged in the solution of NatSurf 265 + Crosolv 30 blend showed significantly faster cleaning. Crosolv 30 enables fast, safe cleaning with aqueous based systems
