The Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) market is a subset of the larger chemicals market. VOCs are organic compounds that have a high vapor pressure and low water solubility. They are used in a variety of industries, including paints and coatings, adhesives and sealants, printing inks, and cleaning products. VOCs are also used in the production of pharmaceuticals, food and beverages, and personal care products.
VOCs are regulated by governments around the world due to their potential to cause air pollution. Regulations vary by country, but typically involve limits on the amount of VOCs that can be released into the atmosphere. Companies in the VOC market must comply with these regulations in order to remain competitive.
Some companies in the VOC market include BASF, Dow Chemical, Eastman Chemical, Evonik Industries, and Solvay. Show Less Read more
