Canadian Paint and Coatings Industry Succeeds in Reducing Low-Level VOC Emissions

December 20, 2015

Environment Canada’s recently completed evaluation of the VOC Concentration Limits for Architectural Coatings Regulations reveals that the Canadian paint and coatings industry has significantly reduced low-level emissions over the past four years.

In this webinar, we will demonstrate how silane and silicone technologies can modify polyaspartic chemistries to increase performance characteristics of traditional metal coating finishes. In particular, we will highlight technical capabilities of glycolic silane technology that can enable coating system formulations to be virtually free of latent alcohol or other VOC emissions.

This webinar will discuss the different chemistries of fluorosurfactants and other additives and how this affects their performance in coatings. Fluorosurfactants are multifunctional and direct one-for-one replacement is rarely possible, but careful selection of additive combinations can achieve comparable performance in different coatings formulations.
