As companies and politicians become more aware of their effect on the planet, new standards are being created. Regulations are already in the pipeline to reduce the hazadous gasses emitted by certain solvent borne basecoats.
When Rodi's Autobody heard about a revolutionary painting system that would help the environment and produce a more perfect product, they took action.
Rodi's Autobody is now proud to offer the Sherwin Williams AWX™ Waterborne Automotive Paint Solution!
More on Sherwin Williams' Revolutionary Car Paint
-AWX™ Warterborne Automobile Paint offers up to a 96% decrease in VOC emission
VOC = Volatile Organic Compounds
Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are emitted as gases from certain solids or liquids. VOCs include a variety of chemicals, some of which may have short- and long-term adverse health effects. Concentrations of many VOCs are consistently higher indoors (up to ten times higher) than outdoors. VOCs are emitted by a wide array of products numbering in the thousands. Examples include: paints and lacquers, paint strippers, cleaning supplies, pesticides, building materials and furnishings, office equipment such as copiers and printers, correction fluids and carbonless copy paper, graphics and craft materials including glues and adhesives, permanent markers, and photographic solutions.
