Description

General description

We are committed to providing environmentally friendly products, and γ-Valerolactone (GVL) is a prime example of our dedication to this effort. GVL is a bio-based solvent derived from renewable sources, which makes it a sustainable alternative to traditional organic solvents like NMP and DMF. GVL aligns with the principles of "Use of Renewable Feedstocks" and "Safer Solvents and Auxiliaries" and offers exceptional solubility properties. As a result, it is an effective solvent for various applications, such as chemical synthesis. GVL is non-toxic, non-irritating, and biodegradable, making it a safe and eco-friendly choice for both consumers and the environment. Overall, γ-Valerolactone is an excellent option for companies and researchers seeking to reduce their environmental footprint while still delivering high-quality products.
