Solvents fulfill critical functions in chemical reactions including dissolving materials and controlling temperatures. ADM supplies industrial-grade, high-performing solvents.
Our ethyl lactate and industrial ethanol are used as solvents in household cleaners, personal products and fragrances. Soy methyl esters and ethyl lactate have applications in dissolving plastics.
With a Kauri-Butanol Value of more than 1,000, ADM’s biodegradable ethyl lactate easily replaces chlorinated solvents in a wide range of industrial applications. It can be mixed with both water- and oil-based products and is effective in multiple types of solvent systems.
Our completely denatured, specially denatured and pure ethanols are high quality with less than two parts per million (ppm) of any impurity. As a leading ethanol producer, ADM can provide the right product for each customer’s application.
