What is a solvent ?

What makes paints flow? What makes inks dry? What makes medicines pure? What stops oil rigs from rusting? What makes microchips possible?

The answer? Solvents, a group of chemicals which have dramatically changed modern day living and have become an invaluable partner for industries as diverse as pharmaceuticals, pesticides, domestic cleaning and printing.

Thousands of producers, manufacturers and over 10 million workers in Europe rely on solvents every day to provide solutions to new manufacturing needs and excellence in technical performance.

In fact, without solvents many of the products we use and rely on today, from penicillin to industrial paint, would not perform to the standards we demand.
