I find it interesting that as an American manufacturer, I have to buy Chinese goods to meet the latest VOC laws. Certain raw materials such as Dimethyl Carbonate are not made in the US, and the US manufacturers of other solvents do not want to spend a decade to build a new factory in the US due to the long and involved process. We go out of our way to buy American, but in this instance and many others we have no choice. Very frustrating.
