HARKE UK & Ireland are pleased to introduce Rhodiasolv® Infinity E, a next-generation microemulsion concentrate that offers a high-performance, environmentally conscious alternative to traditional solvents and surfactants.
Whether you’re developing degreasers, stain removers, or multi-surface cleaners, Rhodiasolv® Infinity E has a lot to offer – balancing performance, safety, and sustainability.
What is Rhodiasolv® Infinity E?
Rhodiasolv® Infinity E is a microemulsion concentrate based on Rhodiasolv® Iris (dimethyl 2-methylglutarate) – a solvent derived from industrial by-products. It’s infinitely dilutable in water, highly effective at stain removal, and classified as non-VOC under EU regulations. It provides excellent cleaning performance, even at neutral pH, while being transparent, non-flammable, and readily biodegradable.
Key Benefits at a Glance
Sustainable and Circular:
- Derived from petrochemical by-products
- Readily biodegradable
- LVP-VOC exempt (CARB/EPA compliant)
- Cleangredients® subscriber
Excellent Safety Profile:
- Not classified as irritant or sensitiser
- High flash point (141°C) and very low evaporation rate
- No flammability classification under typical conditions
Exceptional Performance:
- Strong degreasing and stain removal at pH 4–9
- Transparent, water-like liquid – easy to formulate with
- Effective even in challenging cleaning scenarios (e.g. high gloss paint, crude oil, burnt-on soils)
Proven Performance – Backed by Data
Rhodiasolv® Infinity E has shown equal or better performance than a range of commercial products and benchmark solvents:
- vs. Enzyme-based cleaners – Performed equal to or better than the benchmark when removing wine, ketchup, and mustard stains
- vs. D-limonene – Matched or exceeded cleaning efficacy using 50% water and 45–38% Rhodiasolv®
- vs. “Eau Ecarlate” – Superior stain removal with no hazardous classification
- vs. high pH degreasers – Effective even at neutral pH and lower temperatures
Contact our technical team for more details about testing and results.
Ideal Applications
Rhodiasolv® Infinity E is incredibly versatile, making it ideal for:
- Multi-surface cleaners – Suitable for glass, kitchen, bathroom, and more
- Degreasers – Powerful even in neutral pH formulations
- Pre-spotters and stain removers – Outperforms traditional products
- Oven cleaners – Effective at removing baked-on residues
- D-limonene extenders – Use in combination or as a replacement
With flexible dilution levels from 5% (homecare) to 35% (heavy-duty), formulators can fine-tune performance and cost to suit any application.
