Organic Coating Eco Friendly Paints

Organic Coating Eco Friendly paints are safer for you and the environment. Several things are necessary before paint is considered eco friendly. Organic paint needs be non-toxic, VOC free and contain no dubious chemicals. Here is a short list of things to consider when selecting Organic Coating Eco Friendly paints:

•           No dubious chemicals: must be EN71 compliant

•           All ingredients must be declared on the label

•           The paint must be entirely non-toxic

•           VOC free and solvent free to be considered as Ultimate Purity

•           Exceeds new EU 2010 Standards by 7000x

•           Minimal Carbon Footprint/ Act on CO2

Leading Cause of Indoor Pollution

According to the EPA indoor air is more polluted than outdoor air by three times. They consider it among the top five human health hazards today. Paints and finishes are major contributors to this problem. Because they release toxic emissions into the air, paint and finishes are viewed to be an issue for up to five years after they are applied.

VOCs, or volatile organic compounds, are a large part of the reason for this. Until recently, volatile ingredients were an essential component of manufacturing paint. Fortunately for us and our environment today, there have been new environmental regulations put in place to combat the serious health threats derived from toxic paint compounds. This is due mainly to consumer demand and the concern of average everyday folks like you and me. The changes have led to paint manufacturers producing a variety of low or zero VOC paint and finish products which conscientious consumers can choose from. These new products are both durable and cost effective. And they are, most importantly, not as dangerous to human and environmental health.
