Future of Paint Products: Navigating VOC Regulations and Environmental Impact

The future landscape for paint product development will be heavily influenced by environmental regulations and limits on volatile organic compounds (VOCs). As laws tighten globally, expect lowered maximum VOC values in regions like the EU and NAFTA, and stricter implementation of the substitution principle for solvents. Key movements include potential bans on specific solvents like xylene and shifts toward waterborne coatings as performance gaps narrow. Enhanced focus on VOC emissions from various sources—including transportation and solvent use—will reshape the industry, demanding innovative, eco-friendly solutions.

Presentation Transcript

  1. Environment and legislation

  2. The future: What to expect ? • Environment will be the main force of influence on all future paint product development • VOC regulations in more countries • Lower max. VOC values in EU & NAFTA • Individual VOC values for each solvent? • Some solvents i.e. Xylene could become forbidden to use. • VOC values for total paint systems calculated pr. m² ? • The substitution principle to be exercised more strict • The cost/performance gap between solvent-borne and water-borne coatings will narrow

  3. The future:VOC Regulation in EU National Emission Ceiling on VOC, 2010 NEC EU’s Solvent Emission Directive 2001 - 2004 - 2007 SED National VOC-regulation* Product group VOC-limits VR OEM Decorative Marine Protective *VOC -limits: Austria (1995), UK (1998) *National Emission Limits: France, Portugal, Germany, Italy, Holland *VOC-tax: Switzerland

  4. The future:Sources for VOC-emissions * Petrol fumes/energy/ production/waste 18% Vegetation 22% Traffic 35% Use of solvents 25% (38-47% from paint) * Annual average. • Man-made emissions (EU): 10-12 mill tonns/year • Annual reduction in paint solvents > 1 mill tonn/year • Increased focus on emissions from traffic and use of solvents……

  5. Suggested by CEPE*- solvent levels by Product Group for EU 2007 Solvent Level (g/l) Prefabrication Primers 100 Sealercoats and Holding Primers 490 2-Pack Anticorrosive Primers and Intermediates 250 IOZ Coatings 420 Organic Zinc Primers 420 1-Pack Primers and Intermediates 380 2-Pack Finishes 380 1-Pack finishes 400 Surface Tolerant 250 Tank Linings 325 High Temperature Resistant 480 Intumescent Coatings 400 *by October 2004
