Breakthrough Paint Developed At ESF Cuts Petroleum Use
Research at Syracuse's State University College of Environmental Science and Forestry helped Flecta Company perfect a new family of coatings and paints that promise lower air pollution and reduced petroleum solvent use. The Enviroso System, created with Wood Products Lab work led by Dr. Ramesh C. Vasishth and Wilfred Cote, could transform the coating industry if trials meet claims. California officials call it a major breakthrough, noting the system uses 60 percent less petroleum solvent than current coatings and could ease air quality concerns nationwide.
