Going Green!
Welcome to Quality First Collision’s Auto Body Paint Services page in Surrey BC, where we have taken a step towards a more environmentally conscious future by introducing our Water Based Paint Technology.
Unlike traditional petroleum solvent-based paints, our Water Based Paint System is an eco-friendly solution that eliminates harmful Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) and Hazardous Air Pollutants (HAPs). This move towards sustainability benefits not only the environment but also everyone who uses our services.
You may have heard of “waterborne” and “solvent-borne” paints and wondered what sets them apart. The difference lies in their main solvents, with solvent-based coatings using chemical compounds to thin pigment solids, releasing VOCs into the atmosphere. In contrast, waterborne coatings utilize water as the primary solvent, significantly reducing VOC emissions.
Does this mean that waterborne coatings are less effective than solvent-borne ones? Not at all. Our Water Based Paint system has been thoroughly tested and proven to be the best waterborne paint technology in the market, meeting the highest standards for car repair.
As a customer, choosing our collision center that uses Water Based Paint is an informed decision. You can feel proud that your vehicle will be repaired with a paint system that fully complies with the strictest legislative regulations, all while contributing to a greener future.
