Waterborne UV technology enables formulators to achieve properties equal to many solventborne and 100%-solids UV systems with zero VOCs and with chemical resistance superior to conventional waterborne systems.
One of the environmental considerations is maximum achievable control technology (MACT), which is an EPA initiative aimed at the emission of HAPs. UV technologies are in compliance with-or technically exempt from-the MACT rules because HAPS (generally certain solvents) are not used in UV formulations, so HAPs emissions from UV formulations are zero. But there are other areas of current focus. One of these is "balance."
