The Mazda Motor Corporation is continuously looking for ways to be a better global citizen. With the new “Aqua-Tech Paint System” that reduces the emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOC) by 57% and improves the paint job, it looks like they are staying on track. “Aqua-Tech” upholds the same world-class low carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions as Mazda’s current “Three Layer Wet Paint” system but further reduces VOC emissions to barely 15 grams per square meter of body surface.
While naturally lower in VOC emissions than solvent-based paint, drying water-based paints uses much more energy and, thus, increases CO2. Mazda have mastered this with a combo of improved paint technology and a more efficient evaporative drying system. Mazda has set up the Aqua-tech Paint System for vehicle body painting at its Ujina Plant No.1 in Japan.
