2 KEY CHARACTERISTICS Low VOC Biodegradable* High boiling point Low freeze point Solvency enabled by cyclic components Stable in acids Stable in higher temperatures High flash point *Perceived biodegradability based on formulated components. Studies are underway.

3 FlexaTrac -PCM F O R M U L A T E D S O L V E N T S FlexaTrac -PCM is an inexpensive blend solvent designed to improve the environmental profile of most common BTX solvents. Available in two grades (300 and 400), FlexaTrac-PCM works in applications across a number of industries, including oil and gas, agriculture, and paints and coatings.
