No more VOC´s
By Making Sure our Products Contain no Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC), we are Helping to Protect the Environment.
VOCs (volatile organic compounds) are a large group of liquids and gases,many of which are odorless and colorless. They evaporate at room temperature. Volatile organic compounds are a general problem because they can react with other harmful substances in the lower atmosphere to produce ozone. High ozone concentrations at ground level can impair human health,cause crop failures, and attack materials such as rubber. Some volatile organic compounds are directly harmful to human health, contribute to global warming, or destroy the ozone layer in the stratosphere which protects life on Earth against dangerous ultra-violet radiation (source: British Environment Agency).
Comparison of Liquid Paint and Powder Coatings
Powder Coatings as a Sustainable Solution
- IGP powder coatings are the sustainable solution for surface design and protection.
- Powder coatings are electrostatically applied to surfaces, then cured. Because they don’t contain volatile and toxic hydrocarbons, powder coatings are inherently a more eco-friendly product than liquid paints.
- IGP powder coatings do not emit volatile organic compounds after cross-linking.
