Low VOC Coating Solutions

Without Compromise

Your customers demand coatings that are both high performing and regulatory compliant. They aren't willing to compromise, and neither are we. At Univar Solutions, we've worked to create regulatory compliant coating concepts that don't sacrifice performance by leveraging our extensive portfolio of high-quality products and additives—giving you the flexibility to formulate or reformulate to your customers' exact needs.

Solvent Based Roof Coating

Water-borne Roof Coating

Water-borne Industrial DTM Coating

Water-borne Industrial Coating

Low to zero VOC waterborne architectural coating that is also APEO-free. High-performing to meet the needs of everyday architectural coatings. Solvent-free, so it is low odor and can be used for interior and exterior coating needs, Maintains aesthetics.

Water-borne Industrial Coating

Industrial coatings need to be durable and withstand some of the harshest conditions, so when you're challenged with being regulatory compliant, it can make formulating a challenge. Our assortment of low VOC and APEO-free additives are able to provide solutions to ensure your products maintain optimal performance while meeting regulatory requirements. When formulating high performing water-born industrial direct to metal coating, we recommend a number of products that provide excellent durability, adhesion, and corrosion resistance, creating a strong alternative to traditional solvent-based coatings.
