Green Coatings; Coatings That Emit Nearly No Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) During Production
Green coatings are eco-friendly coatings with low volatile
organic compound (VOC) content. Green coatings emit nearly no VOCs during
production. High-solid paints, water-based paints, radiation-hardened coatings,
and powder coatings are some of the most common options of green coatings.
Natural ingredients, such as castor oil, vegetable oil, milk, soybean, and clay
are used to make these coatings. They help reduce the harmful effects of
infrared and ultraviolet (UV) radiations while also increasing the equipment's
overall efficiency.

Therefore, these coatings are widely used in various
industry verticals, such as automotive, oil and gas, construction, mining,
aerospace, aviation, and marine. Two of the biggest offenders when it comes to
harmful substances in coatings are heavy metals and VOCs. The emission of VOCs
releases toxins into the surrounding air, causing various health problems such
as kidney failure, headaches, dizziness, and damage to the ozone layer. VOC
refers to volatile organic compounds that are not harmful to the environment
and humans.
Green coatings are eco-friendly coatings with low VOC
content. Low VOCs are good for the environment & living organisms.
Development of sustainable products has gained importance in the last few
decades due to which manufacturers are focusing on introducing eco-friendly
products in the market. Therefore, market players are focusing on producing
high-performance coatings that have low or zero VOCs with good durability. Rising
awareness regarding VOC emissions has contributed to the rise in demand for
green coatings globally.
Moreover, green coating products are in high demand by
professionals who want to comply with green building programs and DIYers who
want to reduce their exposure to chemicals. The vast majority of paint and
coatings companies now offer green coating options. In the U.S., stringent
regulations imposed by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) on paints and
coatings industry to limit VOC. Go Green World Products, LLC (US) has developed
a line of coatings being sold under the Green Planet Paints trade name.
