WHAT ARE VOCs?

VOCs are volatile organic compounds that vaporize at room temperature and react with nitrous oxides in the atmosphere to form smog. Government rules about volatile organic compounds (VOCs) grew out of the Clean Air Movement in Southern California, and deal only with ingredients of a product. Whether ingredients are toxic is not considered when drafting, implementing, and enforcing regulations limiting VOCs.

In order to achieve their claims of “ZERO VOCs,” some manufacturers take out certain solvents and substitute them with toxic chemicals that are not covered by the VOC regulations.#149R and #179R are formulated from 100% bio-based ingredients and do not contain volatile organic compounds.#149R and#179R do not contain harmful acids, acetone, butyls, Isobutane, isoparaffinic hydrocarbons, halogenated hydrocarbon glycol ethers, hydrocarbons, ketones, methylene chloride, perchloroethylene, methyl ethyl ketone, or any other hazardous chemical or solvent compound.
