Total VOC Control Solution for Footwear Supply Chains

IMPLEMENT VOC CONTROL TO ENSURE SAFETY AND AVOID SHIPPING DELAYS

What is VOC and Where Does It Come From?

Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) are organic chemicals that easily evaporate at room temperature. They originate from various sources in footwear production and shipping, including:
  • Adhesives and glues
  • PVC and synthetic materials
  • EVA foam and polyresins
  • Vulcanization agents
  • Residual fumigants used in containers

When these materials off-gas inside sealed containers during transit, VOC levels can rise to unsafe limits, creating health hazards for workers and causing shipping delays due to de-gassing requirements.
 

Why VOC Control Is Critical

  • Health & Safety: VOC exposure can harm workers entering containers.
  • Compliance: Meet global occupational health and environmental regulations.
  • Efficiency: Avoid costly shipping delays caused by unsafe container air.
