Bio-Solv - acetone replacement

Any experience with this product by MAS? The mfg's claims are quite impressive - at least as a cleaner/degreaser. No mention of the ability to use as a thinner for resins, etc. but I'm not concerned about that.

Bio-Solv is a 100% bio-degradable and non toxic cleaning solvent replacement for acetone, xylene and other harmful solvents

Thanks.

Its a BIT safer but you still need protection and acetone does biodegrade which tends to point out the flaw in the whole biodegrade claims of many products

If a dirty bottom slows you down what do you think it does to your boat

Understood - I'm trying to find out if anyone has used it and if it is effective.

While I haven't needed and therefore used it, a friend of mine works for them and has stated it's a safe and effective alternative. They're confident enough that they're trying to take it to other industries that use solvents, cleaners, etc. Haven't talked to him in a while so not sure how they're making out with it.
