Low VOC is not No VOC. It is important to understand what VOC is. VOC is the evaporating solvent in paint, added to speed paint drying and to increase paint volume. Basically, all conventional paint contains solvents, unless it is 100% linseed oil based and has a dry weight of 100%. 100% dry weight means that nothing evaporates from the paint after you open the can. If the dry weight is anything less than 100% you can bet it contains some form of solvent. Return to FAQ.
