ThE reduction of the CO₂-FOOTPRINT
of a coating project

6,600 KG CO₂ IS COMPARABLE
TO THE EMISSIONS FROM
DRIVING AROUND THE EARTH
ON DIESEL (40,000 KM)

calculate the reduction of the CO₂-footprint in 6 steps

CALCULATE THE NUMBER OF M² OF
THE COating PROJECT


CALCULATE THE NUMBER OF LITRES REQUIRED
BASED ON THE NUMBER OF M²

calculate the CO₂-fixation:
number of litres x number of KG Co_{2
(see datasheet)}

CHOOSE THE BIOBASED PAINT SYSTEM FOR YOUR PROJECT

example calculation:

1. Corrosion class: C1-C2 low corossivity
2. Durability: High (15-25 years)
3. Paint system: SteelKote C1/C2 H 803BIO
4. Nember of m²: 24,000 m²
5. Number of litres required: 24,000 m² /4 m²/L^* = 6,000 L
6. CO₂-fixation: 6,000 L X 1.1KG/L CO₂ = 6,600 KG CO₂

* Yield is based on practical yield.
In this calculation, the theoretical yield is 6.6 m²/l (according to datasheet)
To determine the practical yield, approx. 40% spray loss has been taken into account.
