A UNIQUE RANGE of ECOLOGICAL PAINTS

ECOS ecological paints and varnishes are a completely unique range of decorative finishes. It's the only range of totally solvent-free paints and varnishes available anywhere in the world today and has been independently tested to reveal 0.0% VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds). As a result ecological paints are ideal for children's bedrooms, nurseries, kitchens and anywhere in the home, especially if you or a member of your family is chemically sensitive or suffers from asthma or allergies. Using ECOS ecological paints means that rooms are safe and pleasant to live in-play in-sleep in-eat in!

Most paints currently on sale, both gloss and emulsion, contain solvents and VOCs.
ECOS ecological paints contain none.
