Enriching People's Lives Through Low-VOC Specialty Chemicals

Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) harmfully impact human health and the environment. These carbon-based compounds are commonly found in paints, adhesives, and cleaning products, where they easily evaporate into the air. Once released, they contribute to smog formation, poor air quality, and health risks such as respiratory issues and headaches.

To address this challenge, many industries are transitioning to eco-friendly alternatives that reduce VOC emissions without sacrificing performance. DKSH is helping drive this shift by providing innovative, low-VOC specialty chemicals to sectors such as coatings, adhesives, and cleaning products. These solutions help minimize harmful emissions while ensuring optimal functionality and safety for all users.

With technical expertise, regulatory support, and a focus on sustainable innovation, DKSH enables its business partners to adopt greener practices. For example, our collaboration with leading manufacturers has resulted in formulating high-performance, low-VOC paints that are less harmful to health and the environment while maintaining durability and aesthetic appeal.

DKSH also works with adhesive and cleaning product manufacturers to create low-VOC solutions. These solutions include additives and formulations in construction adhesives that improve indoor air quality and make building sites safer for workers, as well as industrial cleaning agents that lower respiratory risks for employees while meeting environmental standards.

By championing low-VOC specialty chemicals, DKSH proactively supports creating cleaner environments, healthier workplaces, and a more sustainable future for communities and the planet.

At DKSH, our purpose is to enrich people’s lives. We do so by providing reliable access to high-quality and responsible products and services, creating sustainable value for our partners, and contributing to raising the quality of life in the communities we operate in by generating jobs, perspectives, and opportunities for people’s development and growth.
