COMMON QUESTIONS

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 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.
