VOC regulations and what they mean for manufacturers Volatile organic compounds, or VOCs, are emitted by everything from aerosol deodorants to household cleaning supplies. But some industries may create them in large enough quantities to constitute a substantial health risk and contribute to ground-level ozone buildup. According to the EPA, ground-level ozone results from a reaction […]
Read MoreWater-based coating vs. solvent-based coating
Water-based coatings vs. solvent-based coatings Coatings frequently take their name from the binder, or resin, from which they’re made. Epoxies, alkyds and urethanes are all examples of resins that give a coating their name. But these aren’t the only parts that make up a coating. In addition to additives, which can lend a coating certain […]
