With spring upon us, we've been thinking green. As consumer concerns grow, companies are under increasing pressure to develop environmentally safer and friendlier products. Our customers come to us looking for solutions to be more conscious of the environment without sacrificing the integrity of their products. For instance, a mix of PCBTF (our Oxol-100) along with methyl acetate can create zero VOC paints.
Did you know that some of our suppliers offer non-hap, low VOC, waterborne, as well as other products that are environmentally friendly or considered green?
Ranbar offers a range of alkyd resins that are environmentally friendly products to meet the needs of the paint and coatings industry. They offer specialty resins that possess low cost water reducible technology, high solids VOC compliant resins, custom formulations, and green solvents.
Silok offers waterborne products including leveling agents, marproofing agents, wetting agents, dispersing agents, anti-foaming agents, and other specialty products.
Accurate Dispersions now offers GEO Shades which are new colors designed to meet VOC regulations and are listed as “low to No VOC”.
