AVANSE™ 412 emits low levels of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), making it less threatening resins to the environment and to users than solventborne. Low VOC profiles are the result of spherical latex particles forming a closely packed layer in the waterborne base. Particles meld as the polymer chains diffuse to form a continuous film. Solventborne coatings emit high levels of VOCs in part because they depend on evaporation, not crosslinking, for their film structure.

AVANSE™ technology is unique in this ability to greatly reduce VOC emissions.
