THE SEARCH FOR COATINGS WITH NO EMISSIONS
Applicators have been seeking alternatives to epoxy floor coatings for many years, largely due to the need for low-VOC solutions. This article aims to help you understand what VOC emissions are and how to avoid them. By the end of this article, you will have a clear understanding of VOCs, and we believe you will see why polyurea is the perfect solution for your coating needs.
WHAT ARE VOC'S?
Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are natural, organic gases emitted from certain solids or liquids in an unstable state when exposed to room temperature. These gases contain many chemicals, some of which may cause health risks. Coatings often contain VOCs, which enable quick drying after application, however the majority of our coatings do not contain VOCs.
POTENTIAL HEALTH RISKS
Numerous conditions have been linked to exposure of high-level VOCs for prolonged periods. According to the EPA.
Examples of these include:
- Eye, nose, and throat irritation
- Headaches
- Loss of coordination
- Damage to the liver, kidneys, or nervous systems
- Cancer

When you invest in polyurea, you will choose a coating option with low VOCs. Low VOCs refer to a level close to zero. Polyurea does not emit toxic fumes during application and is safer than any other coating product.
