PPG total service solutions wins Environmental Achievement Award for eco-friendly paint denaturant
Keywords: Quality awards, Environmental management
PPG Total Service Solutions, Troy, Michigan, was recently honored with the 2005 Environmental Achievement Award by the Environmental Management Association (EMA) at an award ceremony at the Detroit Athletic Club. The company was recognized by the EMA for its unique, environmentally minded paint denaturant, BC4200NP.
Paint denaturants are typically used in automotive and industrial water-washed paint spray booths to denature and coagulate paint overspray, making removal and waste treatment easier. Unlike commonly used paint denaturants, which contain man-made polymers that are melamine- formaldehyde-based or are made from petroleum-based raw materials, PPG's patented BC4200NP denaturant uses a natural byproduct of food processing as a primary ingredient.
“The development of the BC4200NP technology demonstrates PPG Total Service Solutions' commitment to a clean environment and its continued effort to explore new ways to assist in providing solutions to environmental issues,” said David Boehmer, Director of PPG Specialty Products.
