Thirteen PPG Architectural Finishes Speedhide Zero VOC interior paint EPDs are set to expire on February 11, 2027, about eight months from now. If renewals are not in motion, specifiers on projects that require current EPDs will likely pivot to comparable paints with valid declarations. Below we outline exactly which PPG EPDs are expiring, whether replacements exist, and which competitor lines currently hold active EPDs that could soak up the specs.

What’s expiring (and when)

All of the following PPG Architectural Finishes Speedhide Zero VOC interior paint EPDs are valid through February 11, 2027. They cover multiple sheens and tint bases for common interior work.

  • Speedhide Zero VOC Latex Sealer
  • Speedhide Zero VOC Latex Semi-Gloss White and Pastel Base
  • Speedhide Zero VOC Latex Semi-Gloss Midtone Base
  • Speedhide Zero VOC Latex Semi-Gloss Neutral Base
  • Speedhide Zero VOC Latex Satin White and Pastel Base
  • Speedhide Zero VOC Latex Satin Midtone Base
  • Speedhide Zero VOC Latex Satin Neutral Base
  • Speedhide Zero VOC Latex Eggshell White and Pastel Base
  • Speedhide Zero VOC Latex Eggshell Midtone Base
  • Speedhide Zero VOC Latex Eggshell Neutral Base
  • Speedhide Zero VOC Latex Flat White and Pastel Base
  • Speedhide Zero VOC Latex Flat Midtone Base
  • Speedhide Zero VOC Latex Flat Neutral Base

These EPDs sit in the Architectural Coatings category and were verified by NSF International, so they are comparable to other interior paints listed under the same PCR and operator.

Are replacements already live?

As of June 20, 2026, we did not find successor EPDs specifically replacing the Speedhide Zero VOC SKUs above. PPG does have other architectural paint EPDs in market that remain current, including SPEEDHIDE PRO EV ZERO Interior Flat White & Pastel Base that runs to April 28, 2028. That can soften the gap for flat work, but it does not cover every sheen or base named above.

To track product-level documents from the source, PPG’s pages are helpful: the Speedhide Zero VOC EPD PDF is available on ppgpaints.com and commonly cross-posted by distributors (PPG Paints, Speedhide Zero EPD; an updated listing also appears under PPG’s LEED resources with EPD and HPD links in one place (PPG LEED and transparency hub). PPG is also indexed on the EPD Directory for selected product families such as sealants (EPD Directory).

What this means for specifiers

If these 13 EPDs are not renewed by February 11, 2027, project teams that require a current declaration will lose EPD coverage for a broad set of Speedhide Zero VOC interior paints. In practice, that often triggers a shift to products with active, third party verified declarations rather than waiting for a late update. No drama, just a predictable rules-of-the-game moment.

Likely alternatives with current EPDs

Here are representative interior paint lines with active EPDs that compete in the same use cases and sheen bands. All sit under the Architectural Coatings PCR with well known operators.

  • Sherwin-Williams ProMar 200 HP Zero VOC Interior Latex (EPD current to March 2030, NSF)
  • Behr ULTRA Interior Flat or Satin lines and BEHR PRO i‑series interior paints (EPDs current through late 2029, UL)
  • Benjamin Moore Ultra Spec 500 and Eco Spec interior latex ranges (EPDs current into June 2027, SCS Global Services)

These are not endorsements. They simply reflect where specifers are most likely to look first when EPD coverage is required and a preferred brand’s declaration is between cycles.

Category context that matters in bids

The group of expiring PPG EPDs spans Flat, Eggshell, Satin, and Semi‑Gloss across White and Pastel, Midtone, and Neutral bases. That is the everyday interior paint matrix for commercial TI, education, healthcare, and multi‑family. Losing EPD coverage there means sales teams may need to lead with other lines that still carry live declarations or risk getting swapped during submittals.

Renewal timing and how to stay ahead

Renewal projects benefit from starting months before the validity end date. Data collection, model updates, and operator review can be straightforward if the process is owned end‑to‑end, but it still takes real calendar time. For PPG’s February 11, 2027 deadline, initiating work in the next few weeks keeps options open and avoids rush approvals that add stress for product management and marketing. Dont wait for the last coat to dry.

Where to watch for updates

  • PPG transparency pages often bundle EPD, HPD, VOC emissions reports, and TDS in one spot (see the PPG LEED and transparency hub).
  • Product PDFs such as the Speedhide Zero VOC EPD are periodically revised and re-posted on brand sites and spec libraries (Speedhide Zero EPD).

Bottom line for manufacturers

Expiring EPDs risk specification momentum on everyday SKUs. The math is simple for interior paints: keep declarations current across the common sheen and base grid so sales does not have to defend edge cases during submittals. Starting renewals now protects February 2027 bids and preserves comparability against competitors that already hold long‑dated EPDs into 2029 and 2030.
