What’s expiring and when
PPG Architectural Coatings has one Environmental Product Declaration set to expire on February 11, 2027. It covers SPEEDHIDE zero, an interior architectural coating under MasterFormat 09 90 00. The declaration was published under the widely used Architectural Coatings PCR and is currently listed as active.
Are replacements already in place?
As of June 20, 2026, a newer SPEEDHIDE zero EPD is not visible in public listings. Other PPG declarations remain current, so this is a single‑SKU coverage gap forming rather than a portfolio‑wide issue. Teams that sell into EPD‑required jobs should plan as if coverage for this exact product will lapse in February unless a renewal moves forward soon.
For PPG’s broader transparency library, see the company’s paints and coatings documentation hub, which aggregates EPDs and HPDs across primers, flats, eggshells, satins, semi‑glosses, glosses, and dry‑falls (PPG Paints transparency page, 2026) (PPG Paints).
What specifiers might choose instead if renewal slips
If that February date arrives without a fresh declaration, expect EPD‑driven projects to reach for look‑alike interior paint lines with current coverage:
- Sherwin‑Williams ProMar 200 HP Zero VOC, interior acrylic, listed 11/17/2025 to 11/17/2030 at NSF (NSF, 2025) (NSF EPD11031).
- Benjamin Moore Ultra Spec 500 Interior Latex Paint, issue 06/14/2022 with a five‑year validity to 06/13/2027 at SCS (SCS, 2022) (SCS EPD).
- Kelly‑Moore 550 AcryPlex Interior Paint, ASTM‑verified with a June 2022 issue and five‑year validity window, effectively covering into June 2027 (ASTM, 2022) (ASTM EPD).
These alternatives sit in the same MasterFormat family and are commonly specified for commercial interiors where zero or low‑VOC options with third‑party EPDs are requested.

Commercial impact if the gap opens
On LEED v5 and many owner standards, a product‑specific, third‑party EPD avoids defaulting to conservative, generic factors that raise a project’s modeled footprint. When one paint in a spec set lacks an EPD, contractors often swap to a comparable product that has one. That shift might sound small, yet it can move an entire interior paint schedule.
Renewal timing that protects bids
Most paint EPDs follow a five‑year validity. That makes the real work about starting early enough to keep continuity. For a February 11, 2027 expiry, kicking off a renewal in Q3 2026 usually leaves room for data pulls, site contacts, verification, and program‑operator publishing. A partner that handles data wrangling across plants and SKUs saves product and ops teams meaningful time when deadlines collide.
Practical checklist for product managers
- Confirm whether SPEEDHIDE zero will continue unchanged or shift to a successor formulation that needs its own declaration.
- Line up utility, material, and production data for the targeted reference year, then lock a program operator timeline.
- Pre‑brief sales so they can answer the simple question on bids: is the EPD current today.
Where to find official documentation
- PPG’s transparency and LEED resources, including EPD and HPD downloads: PPG Paints.
- Competitive EPDs cited above: Sherwin‑Williams at NSF (NSF, 2025), Benjamin Moore at SCS (SCS, 2022), Kelly‑Moore at ASTM (ASTM, 2022).
The takeaway for specifiers and sellers
One expiring declaration can ripple into lost line items if it lapses unnoticed. SPEEDHIDE zero is inside the renewal window now, so a timely refresh keeps PPG competitive and avoids last‑minute substitutions. If a new EPD posts before February 11, 2027, the risk disappears instantly. Until then, teams should track status weekly and be ready with a clean, documented update. It is definately manageable with a clear plan.
