Résumé : |
"Green" is the buzzword of the decade. Everything is being named or labeled as "eco", "enviro" or "green" labeled. Most of the manufacturers splash their products or promotions with lush green leaves & tranquil waterfalls cascading in the background. Thus sending the signal for a green concept. The coating industry is witnessing a significant transition across the globe. There is a growing need in the coating industry for what is referred to as "green coatings". What is the impact of coating/colorant product on our planet ? In this scenario what is our contribution as a coating/colorant industry to mother earth to make it safer and healthier place ? The impact can come either from manufacturing, application or disposal. The impact comes from following components of coatings/colorant :
1. VOCs
2. APEs
3. Formaldehyde
4. Heavy metals
5. Toxic solids
6. Bad odour
7. Health hazards
The goal of this paper is to review what all these mean to the environment ? What are the tolerable limits of all these hazardous materials and what is the effect of each of these on environment. It will also look at global regulations for "green coatings". |
