Herb’s Paint and Body Is Going Green With Waterborne Paints

PR Log (Press Release) – Sep 22, 2008 – Herb’s Paint and Body, a Dallas area collision repair shop, is proud to be the first multi-shop collision repair center in the Dallas market to equip their facilities with environmentally friendly water-based automotive paint.

This technology reduces emission of volatile organic compounds (VOC's) by as much as 75%, making it environmentally more responsible and also much safer for our employees. Waterborne paints also produce a smooth, durable and long lasting finish.

Formulated to significantly reduce solvent emissions known as volatile organic compounds (VOC), waterborne paint may soon become an industry standard. In waterborne basecoats, the coating material is suspended in the water carrier instead of being dissolved in solvents.  Most auto body paint technicians agree that the basecoat color match, metallic control and ability to blend not only meet, but often exceed solvent-borne basecoats.
