Environmentally friendly paints
Europe is experiencing a period of intense historical interest from a political, economic, social and technological perspective. Amongst the major challenges and priorities facing the world today is most certainly the need for a strict environmental policy, aimed at safeguarding and improving living and working conditions. The various Commissions of the European Union are currently engaged in some very interesting work in this regard.
Our programme and processes can be summarised as follows:
- The elimination of all traces of any toxic or highly hazardous substances such as heavy metals and salts, micro particles, chlorine derivatives, Benzene-group substances, etc
- The greatest possible reduction in the amount of hazardous organic solvents
- The utilisation of aqueous emulsions wherever possible whilst still guaranteeing quality and performance
- The ongoing review and reformulation of the products
- Exploitation of the best available technologies, aimed not only at improving product performance, but also aimed at reducing the level of emissions released into the atmosphere and at increasing safety as regards the dangers fire and fume emissions
- Continuous, ongoing research into the possible application of technical innovations, in conjunction with our partners, suppliers, professionals and accredited laboratories.
Univer Sokema is proud to state that we have already achieved great success in this regard, specifically as regards marine applications, where environmental and safety requirements are particularly exacting.
