non-toxic paint
ECOS naturfarben are a completely unique VOC free range of nature paints also known as pinturas naturales. It's the only range of totally solvent-free paints and varnishes available anywhere in the world today and has been independently tested by the Endyne Corp.USA & Swedish National Testing Institute to reveal 0.0% VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds). This far exceeds the USA Green Seal LEED requirements (by a factor of at least x2500). VOCs are a major contributor to low-level atmospheric pollution and the use of solvents & VOCs leads to global warming. In addition, the use of solvent-based paints – including turpentine & terpenes - is a major cause of Sick Building Syndrome, Danish Painter's Syndrome, Asthma, Allergies, Chemical Sensitivities and the general Flu-like symptoms reported by many people using conventional paints INCLUDING Matt and Silk wall paints and other nature paints or naturfarben. Like ALL of our competitors, who also call their paints naturfarben, or nature paints, Ecos Nature paints do contain some synthetic ingredients in order to function, but contain mainly natural materials such as water, limestone, marble powder, clay powder, bentonite clay, kaolin, wood pulp cellulose etc, but contains NO solvents, formaldehyde, or VOCs.

Many "Organic" natural paints supplies DO contain toxic solvents such as turpentine
Also, low-solvent does not equate with no solvent; ECOS contains
NO Solvent
COMMON QUESTIONS/ENQUIRIES
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
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
