General description

EMPLURA®
EMPLURA® is our low-cost alternative to high-purity qualities. With EMPLURA we offer a range of solvents for a plurality of basic applications in non-regulated industries and for less demanding applications, preparative laboratory work and cleaning purposes. EMPLURA solvents provide adequate specifications with the most important parameters.
We are committed to bringing you Greener Alternative Products, which adhere to one or more of The 12 Principles of Greener Chemistry. This product is a safer and more sustainable alternative to ethyl acetate and acetone. It is an ester of natural L-lactic acid, which is produced by fermentation of sugar and thus aligns with "Safer Solvents and Auxiliaries" and "Use of Renewable Feedstocks".
