Why replace xylene with Aromatic 100 Fluid in paint & coatings?

In the U.S. the main reason is compliance with regulations such as HAPs, SARA, CERCLA and RCRA. Compared to xylene, the use of Aromatic 100 fluid results in more than a 96 percent reduction of HAPs and more than a 60 percent reduction in SARA 313 reportables. In addition, the benzene content is reduced, which may favorably affect the hazardous waste classification. All of these advantages provide the customer more flexibility in complying with regulatory demands. As an added benefit, resin-solvent compatibility is improved for most resins.
