At a glance for your formula

Incumbent cleaning-solvent family used to identify application-specific substitution targets. Mineral spirits and naphtha are different petroleum mixtures; their boiling range and composition depend on the grade.

Grade-specific screening values have not been recorded. Consult the selected supplier’s technical reference.

Supplier-grade handling

Review the current supplier SDS for the selected grade and region.

Documented “green offset” research

Application-specific alternatives for investigation. Review the cited benefit, hazards and performance before selecting a replacement.

Methyl soyate

Original: Petroleum cleaning solvents (mineral spirits / naphtha)

Proposed offset: Methyl soyate

Use: Degreasers, ink or adhesive removal and selected cleaning solvents

Claim to investigate: Soy-derived solvent route that the supplier explicitly identifies as a mineral-spirits / naphtha replacement candidate.

Limits: Water insolubility requires a suitable emulsifier for aqueous cleaners. Evaporation, residue, rinsing and material compatibility differ from petroleum solvents.

Core data coverage: 18.75%

3 of 16 defined fields are recorded with a source. This measures structured information currently on this site, not the completeness of every linked PDF. Missing fields remain in the denominator.

Coverage is separate from scientific accuracy, human verification and EcoSafe assessment. Molecular fields may not apply to a grade or family; they are not filled from another material to increase its score.

Origin, EcoSafe assessment & review history

Awaiting human verification

This material’s published information has not yet been verified by a human reviewer.

Human verification concerns the stated information and scope. It is separate from an EcoSafe score, certification or safety approval.

EcoSafe assessment: Not assessed · no numerical points or certification.

Manufacturing origin remains source-specific; a supplier address does not establish production origin.
