Overview
SoyClear® 1500 is a double-distilled, fully bio-based solvent made from 100% natural whole soybean oil. This colorless, odorless grade functions as a standalone industrial solvent while blending easily with other commonly used solvents.
With low VOCs (EPA Method 24 tested), SoyClear® 1500 is well-suited for low-VOC formulations. It serves as a d-limonene alternative, offering seamless compatibility with d-limonene, NMP, mineral spirits, and alcohols—without strong odors.
As a nontoxic, biodegradable soy-based solvent, SoyClear® 1500 provides an eco-conscious solution that meets modern environmental and industrial demands. SoyClear® 1500 is also a CleanGredients-listed ingredient, meeting the U.S. EPA Safer Choice standards for safer and sustainable chemistry.
