    PeopleSAFE USE, TRANSPARENCY AND INFORMATION
    • Low VOC content (< 1wt.% acc. to ISO 11890-2)
    • Free of human hazard label (non irritant to eye and skin)
    • Free of alkyl phenol ethoxylates
    PeopleADDRESSING MEGATRENDS AND SOCIETAL TRENDS
    • Reflects market trend towards low odor waterborne paints having less impact on the environment than solvent borne paints
    • Suitable for hazard-label free formulations (acc. EU/CLP directive)
    PeoplePLANET
    PeopleRESOURCE EFFICIENCY AND ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION
    • High active content: 70 %
    • Effective at low use concentrations (usage in emulsion polymerization: 2 % active based on monomers; usage in paints: 0.1-0.3 %)
    • Free of environmental hazard label
    • Less impact on aquatic life (LC50 > 500 mg/l)
    • Readily biodegradable (biodegradation > 75 % in 28 days according to OECD 301 D)
