ANGUS Chemical Company has announced that AMP, a multifunctional specialty chemical that's widely used in latex paint formulations, is no longer classified as a volatile organic compound (VOC) under a final rule by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. "As the coatings industry continues to tackle challenges associated with developing high-performing, zero-VOC paints, AMP becomes an even more powerful tool that formulators can rely upon to meet their current and future needs," said Mark Henning, president and chief executive officer of ANGUS, a wholly owned subsidiary of The Dow Chemical Company. "We're pleased that the EPA has appropriately classified AMP to reflect its minimal impact on the atmosphere. But most importantly, this is a huge win for our customers, who now have much greater flexibility in formulation."
