Chemjet's ECO BASE 400 is a synthetic high-performance, low-environmental impact alternative to diesel fuel and highly branched isoparaffinic mineral oils.  ECO BASE 400 is a value-added alternative in high performance industrial applications because of its low toxicity, improved biodegradability over diesel, and the absence of polynuclear aromatics. ECO BASE 400 is BTEX free.

Chemjet’s ECO BASE 400 may be used in a wide array of applications including oilfield drilling and stimulation fluids, frother blends and flotation aids in mining, pesticide formulations, lubricating oils, chemical process solvents, degreasers and metal rolling oils.

Biodegradation tests run in accordance with OECD 301-F guidelines show that the ECO BASE 400 will exhibit >79% degradation by day 28. When tested together, the ECO BASE 400 shows a more rapid andextensive biodegradation than the # 2 diesel fluid.

ECO BASE 400 is only slightly soluble in water (~15 ppm). ECO BASE 400 shows low aquatic toxicity to freshwater marine species. For example, tests on mysid shrimp show an LC50  on the order of 257,000 ppm for No. 7 drilling fluid spiked with 3% ECO BASE 400. When ECO BASE 400 is used in co junction with low toxicity esters in oilfield applications, the combined material will meet the leptcheirus toxicity and anaerobic biodegradation requirements set by the EPA for specific oilfield applications.

ECO BASE 400 is available in 55-ga drums, 275-ga totes, bulk transport, and railcar quantities from Chemjet, Inc. by calling 1-800-446-2538 or emailing orders@chemjet.com.
