AMP, a multifunctional specialty chemical, is no longer classified as a volatile organic compound (VOC) by Environment Canada, according to ANGUS Chemical Company.
The move means that Canadian formulators will now have greater formulating flexibility while benefiting from the desirable features that AMP imparts in low- and zero-VOC personal care products, according to ANGUS executives.
"As global VOC regulations continue to proliferate, AMP has become an even more powerful tool for environmentally-conscious customers to formulate more sustainable products,” said Mark Henning, president and chief executive officer of ANGUS. “AMP’s Canada VOC-exemption marks a huge win not only for our customers in Canada, who now have broader formulating flexibility, but also for consumers who will benefit from the desirable features AMP imparts in low- and zero-VOC paints, metalworking fluids and personal care products.”
“Environmental impact has become a significant factor in the consumer decision-making process,” said Mike Lewis, business vice president, United States and Canada for ANGUS. “It’s no longer enough for a product to perform at a high level; it must provide sustainability benefits as well. AMP’s VOC-exemption satisfies the demand of our increasingly eco-minded customers in Canada without sacrificing functionality.”
AMP, a flagship molecule for ANGUS, is used in multiple industries, including paint and coatings, metalworking fluids and personal care. More info: www.angus.com.
