A UNIQUE RANGE of environment friendly PAINTS
ECOS
environment friendly 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 environment friendly 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 environment friendly 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.

COMMON QUESTIONS REGARDING
environment friendly
paints
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 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
