FlexiSolv™ Microemulsions

FlexiSolv™ microemulsions are clear, single phase solutions which offer strong solvency power in a water-dilutable, water-rinseable system.  They allow you to do more while using less organic solvent.

FlexiSolv™ microemulsions combine excellent performance with a favorable regulatory, safety and environmental profile. The ingredients have been screened through a extensive set of regulatory and environmental, health, and safety criteria and have been selected to build a family of microemulsions which span the range of Hanson solubility parameters.

Many FlexiSolv™ microemulsions are formulated specifically for aqueous cleaning and stripping applications.  They may be used “as-is” or as the solvent back-bone for a range of fully formulated products, allowing you to tailor a product to meet your customer’s specific needs.

Because we know you are always interested in reducing freight costs, INVISTA also offers our FlexiSolv™ microemulsions as a concentrate which can be diluted with water prior to use.

An additional benefit of our microemulsion concentrates is their compatibility with a wide range of non-aqueous co-solvents or other modifiers, giving you the flexibility to alter the final formulation.
