Search for Successfully Implemented Alternatives

You can use the free text search function to find information in the case story database. Most suitable are: substance name and other substance identifier (EC- and CAS-number). You can refine your search after first entry for sector-, function- and process-categories. The case studies are meant to serve as source of inspiration and ideas for substitution. The alternatives are constantly being developed further. We therefore recommend that you to check in each individual case whether an alternative is suitable for your applications and purposes. If you are aware of any other relevant information that is not mentioned in the current case story, please contact SUBSPORTplus.

Die Substitution von lösemittelhaltigen Farben durch wasserbasierte Farben löste das Problem: Für die Reinigung der Druckwalzen war das genannte Lösungsmittel nicht mehr notwendig. (Das Lösungsmittel wird jetzt üblicherweise durch Wasser und Ammoniak substituiert).

Substitution of isopropanol, 2-methylpropan-1-ol and heptane in the cleaning of printing rolls

A solvent containing isopropanol, 2-methylpropan-1-ol and heptane was used in the cleaning of printing rolls used for bag printing. The previous substitution of organic inks by water based inks solved the problem since solvents were no longer necessary for the cleaning of rolls (the solvent is usually substituted by water and ammonia).
