CPCA Launches Education Campaign for 2-Butanone Oxime Code of Practice
OTTAWA, Ontario - The Canadian Paint and Coatings Association (CPCA) has launched an education campaign to promote the implementation of the recent Code of Practice for 2-butanone oxime (MEKO). The chemical is commonly used as an anti-skinning agent in the formulation of alkyd or solvent-borne paints, primers, varnishes and stains. It is not found in any latex or waterborne products.
CPCA has worked with the Canadian government to develop this national campaign, which emphasizes the need for consumers to properly ventilate their surroundings during and after using indoor alkyd-based paint products containing MEKO.
