Characteristics of ethyl lactate include:
- It is produced from renewable plants such as corn which have no pollution to the environment.
- It can be degraded rapidly and produces little wastewater during the degradation process.
- It is a high boiling point solvent of grease, dirt, water soluble polymer, dissolved dirt with strong and unique solubility.
- Compared with other cleaning agent, ethyl lactate has little loss during cleaning, is cost-effective and has no adverse effect on the object to be cleaned.
- With natural aromatic odor, non-irritating.
