Low-VOC architectural coatings no longer belong to the specialty category but are rapidly entering in the ‘must-have’ league. Stringent regulations, in tune with increasing concern for environmental sustainability, are necessitating the adoption of low-VOC architectural coatings by a notable margin.
Concerns about use of VOCs and shifting preference towards environmentally responsible products are two of the key aspects fostering the popularity of low-VOC architectural coatings. Favorable certifications such as LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) mostly require low- or zero-VOC paints, having a significant contribution towards the rising adoption of low-VOC architectural coatings.
