Coatings for Sustainable Building
Tnemec offers high-performance coating systems built to protect your sustainable structures. These coatings can match the performance of high-solvent products but comply with local air district VOC requirements and several environmental programs, such as the LEED v4.1 rating system.
We manufacture an array of low VOC coatings, including epoxies, polyurethanes, fluoropolymers and zinc-rich primers with less than 100 grams per liter VOCs. For more help with LEED v4.1 -- or other environmental programs -- download our Sustainable Programs Guide below, or reach out to your local coatings consultant for specification assistance.
