Organic Coatings and Eco-friendly paints

Contaminated indoor air is considered one of the dangers by the EPA. Paint and finishes are one of the leading grounds of this contamination because of the discharge of low level toxic emanations for up to five years after either is applied. The cause of the toxins is an amalgamation of VOCs (volatile organic compounds). Until new methods of creating paints and finishes came about, the VOCs were necessary to the effectiveness of these products. The majority of paint and finishes manufacturers now make non-VOC paint and finishes. The new paints and finishes are just as durable, cost effective and safer for human and environmental health.

 Natural Paints and Finishes

Natural raw ingredients such as dyes, oils, water, and essential oils that are found in a variety of minerals that are used to make eco friendly paints and organic coatings. The water based natural paints give off almost no odor and the oil-based natural paints have a pleasant fragrance. The benefits to these types of products is that allergic reactions, though not unknown, are much less and the products are not polluting the air or landfills with hazardous waste.

The natural paints and finishes permit businesses and home owners alike to bring a natural, economic solution to the contamination of the air and the earth. By purchasing the eco friendly products you are helping to eliminate toxic waste in landfills and dumps. This toxic waste leaches into our water supplies every time it rains and that water is gathered in sewer systems and street drains. Going “green” helps your family, business and the environment.

Purchasing eco friendly organic coatings and paints that are plant based helps reduce the amount of emissions from toxic fumes in traditional paint, coating and finishes. Businesses and homeowners both benefit from the lessened allergic reactions to the substances used to cover interior and exterior surfaces. The eco friendly coatings, paints and finishes are cost effective. Lead based paints have been found to cause mental retardation in children who eat the paint chips, toxic fumes are continued to be released over a period of several years when using traditional coatings, paints and finishes. People have more reason to use the natural based products and protect their health and the environment.
