CLEAN AIR COUNTS!

What are VOCs (volatile organic compounds)?

VOCs are the chemicals emitted in the air as paint dries. These chemicals are added to paint for many different reasons. For example, to keep paint from freezing, allowing paint to dry slower so it maintains a wet edge or just the pigments necessary to color the product. All of these ingredients add to the VOC level.

At VPR, we understand the need for a cleaner environment. That is why we not only remanufacture interior and exterior latex paints, but have developed, with the help of major manufacturers, a low VOC interior latex paint that meets the industry standard of 50 g/l (grams per liter) or less.

Making paint that is more environmentally friendly helps improve the overall health of our planet. By lowering VOC’s, VPR helps provide paint to cover the physical surfaces of schools, hospitals, private homes, commercial projects and other spaces where occupied areas need to be painted.
