Reduction of VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds)
LINTEC has been working on switching to a solvent-less release agent for its release paper and a solvent-less adhesive for adhesive products to reduce the amount of VOC it uses. In fiscal 2022, the percentage of solvent-less release paper (production basis) was 64%, while the percentage of solvent-less adhesive products (sales basis) was 79%.
Recognizing the importance of further reducing VOC from the perspective of corporate air pollution prevention, LINTEC is planning and implementing VOC reduction measures. By introducing facilities for the processing of solvent-less release paper, we will expand production of solvent-less products. For adhesion processes, we will also promote adoption of water-based adhesives and hot melt adhesives. We will continue to ensure reliable management of treatment facilities, manage the percentage of solvent-less products, and develop and promote sales of solvent-less products to further reduce our environmental impact.
