CMZ colorants are zero VOC, APE-free universal machine dispensable colorants with broad compatibility in architectural water-based paints and solvent based paints.  They are formulated with a unique zero VOC humectant to prevent them from drying in typical color dispensing machines. CMZ colorants are rigidly controlled for accurate tint strength when dispensed volumetrically. In addition to being VOC free, they have been formulated to contain alkyd phenol ethoxylates (APE).
