VOC

An acronym for “Volatile Organic Compound”. Organic liquids and solids easily vaporize in the atmosphere at normal temperatures/pressures and are used as solvent compounds in the case of paint. However, they are required to reduce emissions due to environmental impact concerns, such as global warming and soil contamination. Solvent-based paints that use LUMIFLON® require fewer repainting cycles due to LUMIFLON®’s excellent weatherability, and help to reduce VOC emissions. We also offer water-based grades and flake (for powder paint and coatings) grades that do not contain solvent compounds.
