Reducing VOCs in Automotive Interiors

Automotive Interior Solutions to Help Reduce Volatile Organic Compounds

Ask A 3M Expert

Contributing to VOC Where it Matters Most

Indoor air quality has long been a concern – volatile organic compounds (VOCs) can emit into enclosed spaces where we spend much of our time. Today, that concern is quickly emerging for vehicle interiors. Materials routinely specified by OEMs and tier suppliers such as carpet, rubber and leather can contain VOCs including formaldehyde, toluene, acetaldehyde, xylene and others. And they are being incorporated into designs where our vehicles are extensions of our homes. Vehicle interior air quality (VIAQ) is about to become more important than ever worldwide. For VIAQ solutions to help you stay in the fast lane, turn to 3M.
