Trend: Low Emission Indoor Paints

When Indoor Air Standards Keep Rising

Indoor air certifications are becoming increasingly strict, and the coatings industry must now look beyond VOC content alone. Premium interior paints, children’s furniture coatings, and decorative finishes all face new scrutiny over the chemical purity of raw materials used in low VOC systems. Paint producers are under pressure to create rich, durable colors that support these standards — without adding unnecessary substances that could compromise indoor air quality.

A Cleaner Color Approach for Modern Paint Formulations

LANXESS supports this shift toward safer indoor environments with its Levanyl® and Levanox® water based pigment dispersions. These high purity dispersions are eco friendly, binder free, and engineered specifically for low emission interior coatings, providing strong color performance without additional chemical load. Their high color strength and low viscosity make them ideal for sensitive applications such as premium wall paints, children’s room coatings, and low emission building products.

By choosing these dispersions, paint producers can strengthen the air quality profile of their formulations while meeting growing market and regulatory expectations.
