Innovative solvents
Solvent-based cleaners remove residues that water-based cleaners are unable to tackle – such as bitumen, resins, adhesives, paints or polymers. Eco-Nova develops solvent-based cleaners with the aim of avoiding hazardous substances as far as possible: according to their safety data sheets, many are not classified as hazardous, whilst some specialist products are labelled as such.
That’s what it’s all about
Problem and Solution
The challenge
Conventional solvents such as acetone, isopropanol, MEK and toluene are highly flammable, some are harmful to health, and they evaporate quickly. They require explosion protection, ventilation, protective equipment and special storage conditions, and pollute the indoor air with VOCs.
Our solution
With our solvent-based cleaners, we take care to avoid hazardous substances as far as possible. According to their safety data sheets, many are not classified as hazardous, for example Nova Safe S, Combisolv TR, Topclean and Bituclean. For particularly stubborn tasks, there are also specialised products available. We can advise you on which cleaner is best suited to your task and your health and safety requirements.
Typical areas of application
- Bitumen, tar and asphalt
- Adhesives and hot-melt adhesives
- Paints, inks and varnishes
- Polymers such as PU and latex
- Roll and machine cleaning

Technical articles & success stories
Solvent cleaner for stubborn residues
Solvent-based cleaners are used for particularly heavy soiling - such as bitumen, resins, adhesives or paints. They dissolve even stubborn residues where other agents reach their limits.
Typical properties & areas of application
Solvent cleaners have a strong degreasing effect and reliably remove adhesions. They are used in printing, construction, metal and plastics processing.
