Environment Canada Grants ANGUS AMP Multifunctional Additive VOC-Exempt Status
BUFFALO GROVE, IL — ANGUS Chemical Co. announced that AMP™, a multifunctional specialty chemical that is widely used in paint formulations, metalworking fluids and personal care products, is no longer classified as a volatile organic compound by Canada’s Department of the Environment (Environment Canada).
Following on the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) exemption of AMP in 2014, Environment Canada finalized an order to remove AMP from the List of Toxic Substances in Schedule 1 of the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999 due to the compound’s negligible effect on the formation of ground-level ozone.
