For more than four decades, we’ve led the way in solvent recovery — including exceeding the tight specifications required to produce EV battery-grade NMP (N-Methyl-2-pyrrolidone) through our first-of-its-kind distillation process. The magic happens at our Chicago plant, which leads the way in us collectively recycling more than 16 million gallons of solvent annually! With the accelerating demand for electric vehicles, the need for ultra-pure materials like NMP has never been greater. Our product not only supports a circular economy, but helps businesses minimize waste and customers meet their sustainability goals. ...Show more
