market news Reducing Carbon Dioxide (CO2) Emissions There is currently huge controversy over the proposed EU limit of 130 g/km of CO2 for car emissions by 2012. Many car manufacturers, particularly luxury car makers, are saying that this will decimate the industry in Europe as the only way to meet it will be to stop 10 ENERGYNEWS making high-performance models. Is true that globally, road transport is responsible for the 16% of man made CO2 emissions, but, often cars and trucks are portrayed as the main source of CO2 forgetting about other contributors. 1 Electricity Generation & Heating 44% 2 Manufacturing & Construction 18% 3 Road Transport 16% 4 Fuel Combustion (other uses) 12% 5 Sea Transport 3% 6 Industrial Processes 3% 7 Other Transport 3% 8 Fugitive Emissions 1% Least Polluting Cars 2.

Questions & Answers What is the most critical aspect that will affect the performance of waterborne technology? Air quality is the most critical aspect that effects the performance of waterborne coatings. Does AWX cover better than solvent borne? The AWX Waterborne System holds more pigment than solvent borne systems. Hiding is usually improved 25 – 33%. Does AWX cost more? Our experience proves to us, that AWX is a productive and profitable alternative solution for collision centers to solvent borne coatings. With the right equipment, mindset and training, Waterborne can be every bit as (or even more) productive as a solvent borne system. Does the mixing of AWX have a complicated conversion step? No – AWX is very easy to mix. Simply add the toners listing in the colour formulation, then reduce with 10% AWX deionised water or till 20% with Slow Reducer for warm temperatures. Does AWX require special application equipment? Minor modification will need to be made to provide optimum performance. Since AWX performs similar to a solvent borne system, it requires the lowest capital equipment cost of all systems. Is AWX difficult to apply? Application of AWX is very simple; it provides better hiding, cleaner formulations for colour match, and easy and consistent blending properties. Is AWX healthier for my employees? While waterborne technology is better for the environment and reduces VOC emissions, AWX still contains solvents, pigments and resins. We recommend proper personal protection . equipment be used for any coating application. Will I have to maintain separate solvent streams with waterborne technology? Yes – It is necessary to maintain separate waste streams, however AWX reduces hazardous waste generation.
