There are a number of coatings available today that will give excellent performance in a heavy-duty maintenance environment without the use of volatile organic solvents. These coatings are either solvent free or use only water as the solvent. Zero VOC (Volatile Organic Compound) coatings are available today that will give excellent performance in most maintenance applications. This paper will examine some of the traditional coatings used in the maintenance industry and their zero VOC alternates.
