Paint systems traditionally used for plantation shutter manufacturing rely on solvent based paints with a high level of VOC’s, or Organic Volatile Compounds. Over time these systems will be discontinued as Governments around the world are making changes to their laws for VOC’s due to the associated health and safety risks, Countries such as Sweden, and some U.S states have all but banned solvent based systems in manufacturing. Even China is considering mandating a change away from the current use of high VOC based paints.
Capitol Shutters actively support this move by supplying only products finished with low VOC and VOC FREE paint finishes. More information can be found at the links below:
