A UNIQUE range of green paints

ECOS green paints and varnishes are a completely unique range of decorative finishes. It's the only range of totally solvent-free green paints and varnishes available anywhere in the world today and has been independently tested to reveal 0.0% VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds).

VOCs are a major contributor to low-level atmospheric pollution and the use of these compounds leads to global warming. In addition, the use of solvent-based green paints 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 green paints INCLUDING Matt and Silk wall green paints!

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

Using ECOS green paints means that rooms are safe and pleasant to live in-play in-sleep in-eat in!

 

COMMON ENQUIRIES ABOUT GREEN PAINTS

Q - Why is solvent-free important?
A - Because not only are lingering paint smells in the home unpleasant, but many green paints including most matt and silk green paints contain solvents which are positively harmful and cause Sick Building Syndrome, Danish Painters Syndrome, asthma, allergies and chemical sensitivities.

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 - Can I put ECOS straight onto old paint finishes?
A - Yes

Q - Is ECOS micro porous?
A - Yes

Q - Is ECOS as good as the brand leaders?
A - NO - it is far better because ECOS is made up to the highest quality and not down to a price.

Q - Why should I buy ECOS rather than the "low odour" products widely available?
A - For your health, for your peace of mind and for your environment

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
