Dürr’s latest innovation enables direct 2K varnish return in the atomizer, eliminating VOC emissions, successfully used in two lines for a year. Until now, significant amounts of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) were released into the paint booth during flushing and color changes with mixed two-component (2C) paint systems. In conventional processes, residual paint is flushed forward into a funnel or directly into the washout, leading to VOC pollution in over 70 percent of the booth air. (…)
