PEOPLE
SAFE USE, TRANSPARENCY AND INFORMATION
- Low VOC content (< 0.5 wt.% acc. to ISO 11890-2)
- Free of human hazard label (non irritant to eye and skin)
- Free of alkyl phenol ethoxylates
ADDRESSING 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)
PLANET
- High active content: 100 %
- Increased efficiency in the use phase due to improved compatibility, leading to reduced rub-out and higher tinting strength
- Multifunctionality helps to reduce volume of other formulants (e.g. defoaming agents)
- Free of environmental hazard label
- Less impact on aquatic life (LC50 > 500 mg/l)
PERFORMANCE
