- Safer Materials: Use of safer materials that are free from SVHC (substances of very high concern) and CMR-(carcinogenic, mutagenic and reprotoxic), improving safe handling.
- Emission Reductions: Achieve lower VOC (volatile organic compounds) waterborne epoxy resin dispersions, contributing to the reduction of emissions during customer applications.
- Circular Solutions: Support circularity with innovative formulations and recycling processes that allow for the reuse, recycling, or repurposing of products in the EpoVIVE™ portfolio.
“At Westlake, we view sustainability not just as a goal, but as a responsibility. The introduction of our EpoVIVEproduct portfolio reflects our commitment to developing products that not only meet the highest standards of quality but also contribute to a healthier planet. We are excited to lead the industry with innovative solutions that drive positive environmental change,” said Karl-Martin Schellerer, Senior Vice President Europe and Asia.
