| Project Description |
In the fall of 2002, MA OTA published "InteliCoat Technologies Toxics Use Reduction Case Study." InteliCoat Technologies (formerly Rexam Image Products) achieved toxics use reduction by adopting solvent-free coating processes for the manufacturing of about 60 percent of their product line. This included the development and commercialization of both water borne and 100 percent solids UV-cure coating technology. Since the mid-1990's, the company has invested over $20 million on product/process development and production improvements to support this new coating technology. This investment has resulted in an 88 percent reduction of air emissions from VOCs and an annual savings of $1.25 million from the reduction of raw materials. This and other case studies are available on OTA's website at www.mass.gov/ota. |
