SSC launches new standard for interior floor coatings

It focuses on conventional epoxy, acrylic, and polyurethane floor coatings.

The Singapore Standards Council launched a new Technical Reference (TR) 121 standard on interior floor coatings to minimise harmful emissions such as formaldehyde and volatile organic compounds.

It primarily focuses on conventional epoxy, acrylic, and polyurethane floor coatings that are water-borne. Solvent-based coatings are excluded due to their significant contribution to VOCs and emissions.

Additionally, TR 121 was developed in alignment with the Singapore Standard 554 Code of Practice and upcoming regulations by the National Environment Agency to support the industry in moving towards low-emission paints.

The standard is available for purchase from the Singapore Standards e-Shop.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
