Hazmat waste put to use-a reuse solution for solvent-based paints and raw materials

摘要

This article originally featured in the July 2018 Issue of PCI Magazine,Vol 34 No 7.The paint industry has entered into an era of continuous enhancement of chemistry from various perspectives,including customer requiremer costs,environment,durability and reach.It is always challenging for research and development teams to create ecofriendly paints with acceptable cost and product performance.Every year,several formulations are edited,and product is enhanced.Formulations in our industry have changed more rapidly in the past decade than ever before.The process of change results in several batches,raw materials and stock items that need to be replaced with newer ingredients.The more we evolve into newer formulations,the more raw material and stock inventory that is no longer usable to the industry is created in the process.We leave behind failure batches and obsolete raw materials.
