about environmentally friendly paints
Q - Why is solvent-free important?
A - Because not only are lingering paint smells in the home unpleasant,
but many paint including most matt and silk paint contain solvents which
are positively harmful and cause Sick Building Syndrome, Danish Painters
Syndrome, asthma, allergies and chemical sensitivities.
Q - why use titanium dioxide instead of natural alternatives?
A - Firstly - it is safe, safe enough to eat. Secondly - natural opacifiers
are relatively poor and often need four or five coats of paint to cover
properly.
Q - why not use natural pigments/earth colours?
A - some are highly toxic (vermillion,) - the others are limited to
subdued shades - browns, reds, yellows , black etc
Q - Are ECOS products suitable for use in babies rooms or for those
with chemical sensitivites, asthma, allergies, M.E. etc
A - Yes, ideally so.
Q - Why not use natural binders and resins rather than
synthetic ones?
A - Some are animal products (bone, hide) - others take days to dry
(oil based) - others (rosins) - need solvents to function (turpentine,
white spirit) - in short, there ARE no adequate natural alternatives
