Determining the VOC content in consumer products, coatings, and paints
Determining VOC Content in Consumer Products, Coatings, and Paints A Crucial Service for Businesses
In todays fast-paced and increasingly regulated market, businesses must stay ahead of the curve when it comes to product compliance. One critical aspect of this is determining the Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) content in consumer products, coatings, and paints. As a laboratory service provider, Eurolab offers expert analysis to help companies meet regulatory requirements and ensure the safety of their customers.
What is VOC Content?
VOCs are chemicals that evaporate easily at room temperature, releasing gases into the air. In consumer products, coatings, and paints, VOCs can contribute to environmental pollution, indoor air quality issues, and even health problems for consumers. The European Unions (EU) legislation has established strict limits on VOC emissions from various products, including paints, varnishes, printing inks, and adhesives.
