Some resins meet the standards of the Arkema Coating Resins EnVia® program, which includes requirements such as no added alkyl phenol ethoxylate (APEO) surfactants, no added formaldehyde or formaldehyde donors, no intentionally added carcinogens, reproductive toxins, or ozone depleting compounds, and low residual monomer levels.
