Eliokem, a specialty chemical company, announces its current Pliolite® resin allows paint manufacturers to meet the 2007 European VOC regulations, now. This legislation requires manufacturers of coatings to limit their VOC emissions.

Pliolite® resins which are widely used in Europe for exterior masonry paints allow to reach high and unique levels of performance compared to water-based products. They have major assets sought after by manufacturers of superior coatings such as durability, all weather application, color retention, no need for primer and excellent adhesion.

Pliolite® has been produced at Eliokem's Le Havre plant for decades and is exported worldwide. Since, the very beginning, the company has been leading a stringent policy with regard to protecting the environment and reducing pollution.

Only paints that comply with Eliokem's set specifications are permitted to use the Pliolite® logo on their packaging or promotional materials. The logo is recognized by painting professionals and end-users and in many cases asked for by name.

All these arguments explain the long lasting success of these paints compared to any other waterborne product. Many paint manufacturers have already modified their formula to adapt it to the 2007 VOC legislation. Pliolite® resins have contributed to the success of the re-formulation and many of these products are available on the European market today.
