Emissions

In surface technology, emissions are an important aspect that can affect the environmental impact and the health of employees and residents. Various emissions can be produced during the painting process, including volatile organic compounds (VOCs), volatile organic solvents, particulate matter and pollutants such as heavy metals.

Various measures are taken to reduce emissions in surface technology. These include the use of low-emission or solvent-free coating materials, the implementation of closed coating systems and the installation of effective exhaust air purification systems such as adsorption, catalysis or thermal post-combustion. Furthermore, the use of energy-saving technologies and the optimization of production processes play an important role in reducing emissions. This can be achieved, for example, by optimizing paint application parameters, minimizing paint losses and making efficient use of energy and resources.

In addition to technological measures, training and sensitizing employees to the environmentally conscious use of materials and resources is also crucial. Training programs and guidelines on waste separation and disposal can reduce waste volumes and increase the recycling rate. In addition, compliance with legal regulations and environmental requirements is of great importance in order to control and minimize emissions in surface technology. Companies are therefore obliged to comply with certain standards and limit values and to carry out regular monitoring and testing to ensure compliance with these regulations.

Overall, the reduction of emissions in surface technology is a continuous process that requires a holistic approach. By implementing technological innovations, efficient production practices and a comprehensive environmental strategy, companies can help to minimize their environmental impact and improve the sustainability of their operations.
