[…] water-based system instead of traditional solvent-based formulations, the company can significantly reduce the emission of VOCs and lower the overall environmental footprint. This transition to water-based technology not only minimizes […]
[…] and low-temperature bake OEM conditions, with dramatically lower levels of emitted volatile organic compounds ( VOCs). Figure 2 shows some South Florida weathering panels for a commercial waterborne PVDF-acrylic binder, […]
[…] key features include requiring less energy; sustainability, because it is formulated without solvents that release VOCs during the curing process; efficiency, because coated parts can be handled almost immediately after […]
[…] areas where sustainability intersects with coatings, such as the elimination of materials of concern (including VOCs, PFAS, marine pollutants, and biocides); the efficient production and use of paint; the focus […]
[…] problem, as it is not only a costly process but often requires the use of harsh solvents or chemical cleaners that can adversely affect the environment by emitting VOCs and HAPs.
[…] nickel, silver, and iron. According to the company, it contains no volatile organic compounds ( VOCs) and is more sustainable in application, because any overspray can be captured and reused, […]
[…] everyday life, producing great environmental and health benefits. The prevalence of volatile organic compounds ( VOCs) in coatings has been greatly reduced, from 700 g/L in the 1940s to ∼ […]
