· Concrete and Asphalt Release Fluids Products that are designed to provide a lubricating barrier between the composite surface materials (e.g., concrete or asphalt) and the container (e.g., wood or metal forms, truck beds, roller surfaces).

87% - Minimum Biobased Content Products that are designed to clean, condition, or otherwise affect the quality of the laundered material. Such products include but are not limited to laundry detergents, bleach, stain removers, and fabric softeners. These are laundry products specifically used to pretreat laundry to assist in the removal of spots and stains during laundering.

46% - Minimum Biobased Content

· Fluids that are designed to provide cooling, lubrication, corrosion prevention, and reduced wear on the contact parts of machinery used for metalworking operations such as cutting, drilling, grinding, machining, and tapping. Metalworking fluids that are not diluted with water prior to use and are generally used for metalworking processes that require lubrication rather than cooling.

66% - Minimum Biobased Content

· Wood and Concrete Sealers - Membrane Concrete Sealers Products that are penetrating liquids formulated to protect wood and/or concrete, including masonry and fiber cement siding, from damage caused by insects, moisture, and decaying fungi and to make surfaces water resistant. Concrete sealers that are formulated to form a protective layer on the surface of the substrate.

11% - Minimum Biobased Content

· Wood and Concrete Sealers - Penetrating Liquids See www.biopreferred.gov for a complete listing.Top of Form Products formulated to provide light lubrication and corrosion resistance in close tolerant internal and external applications including frozen nuts and bolts, power tools, gears, valves, chains, and cables.

68% - Minimum Biobased Content Products that are penetrating liquids formulated to protect wood and/or concrete, including masonry and fiber cement siding, from damage caused by insects, moisture, and decaying fungi and to make surfaces water resistant. Wood and concrete sealers that are formulated to penetrate the outer surface of the substrate.

79% - Minimum Biobased Content Bottom of Form

Products formulated for personal care use in removing a variety of different soils, greases, and similar substances from human hands with or without the use of water.
