What’s expiring, and how material is it
Our review of current listings shows one Behr Paint Company EPD in architectural coatings scheduled to expire in January 2027. Behr’s public EPD library does not clearly surface this specific document by product name today, which suggests it may be a legacy SKU or niche variant still on the books. As of May 20, 2026, we could not confirm the exact title on Behr’s site.
For Behr’s general EPD library and sustainability disclosures, see the BEHR & KILZ Sustainability Product List, which links product pages to EPDs, HPDs, and GREENGUARD certificates (Behr, 2026) (Behr Sustainability Product List).
Are replacements already live for similar lines
Behr renewed dozens of declarations in late 2024 under UL Solutions using the Architectural Coatings PCR, with validity windows running five years. Examples include BEHR PRO i100 Interior Paint, issued August 26, 2024 and valid through August 2029 (UL Solutions, 2024) (BEHR PRO i100 EPD PDF), and BEHR Drywall Plus Interior Primer & Sealer, issued August 12, 2024 and valid through August 2029 (UL Solutions, 2024) (Drywall Plus Primer EPD). These point to a broad refresh that already covers most day‑to‑day interior and exterior paints and primers.
Will specifiers lose access to data
If the January 2027 declaration is not renewed, its EPD will lapse and no longer count as a current, product‑specific Type III declaration for programs like LEED v5. That can nudge project teams to select a comparable product with an active EPD to avoid documentation penalties. EPDs published by UL Solutions carry a five‑year validity window, so timing matters for uninterrupted specability (UL Solutions, 2024) (BEHR PRO i100 EPD).

Competitive products with current EPDs specifiers may reach for
If a gap persists, expect design teams to pivot within the same architectural‑coatings category. Recent, verifiable options include:
- Sherwin‑Williams A‑100 Exterior Acrylic Latex, EPD valid May 6, 2024 to May 6, 2029 (NSF, 2024) (NSF EPD10960).
- Valspar Duramax Exterior Paint + Primer, EPD valid May 6, 2024 to May 6, 2029 (NSF, 2024) (NSF EPD10479).
- Dunn‑Edwards Everest interior acrylic lines and ULTRA‑GRIP Select, EPD valid January 29, 2025 to January 28, 2030 (SCS Global Services, 2025) (SCS‑EPD‑10322).
These are not endorsements, just realistic substitutions that meet current EPD requirements when documentation is a must.
Why a single expiring EPD still matters
Think of an EPD portfolio like a relay team. Ninety percent can be sprinting, but one dropped baton still breaks the race. On projects with EPD mandates, even one out‑of‑date declaration can divert a spec to a rival line. The administrative cost of renewing a document is tiny compared to losing a mid‑size project to a competing coating with a valid EPD.
What to do now
Behr’s broader refresh cadence in 2024 is a strong signal, yet the January 2027 outlier deserves a calendar hold. Internally, confirm whether the product is already covered by a newer, equivalently scoped EPD or whether a re‑issue is planned against the current Architectural Coatings PCR. If the underlying formulation evolved, align renewal timing with the latest reference year so the update boosts credibility, not confusion.

The takeaway for specfiers and manufacturers
The portfolio looks healthy. One Behr declaration is set to lapse in January 2027, and most adjacent Behr products already have current EPDs that carry through 2029 or later. Close the gap early to keep every path to spec open. When EPDs are current, project teams can choose based on performance and service instead of paperwork friction.
