The most important facts about eco-friendly paint:
1. Low content of VOC
The addition of harmful chemicals is of great importance when choosing colors. Environmentally friendly colors are primarily characterized by a low VOC value. VOCs are volatile organic compounds that are released as gases from paints during processing. They are therefore responsible for the violent odor of some conventional colors and can be harmful to health. Because of this, there is a legal VOC lower limit. Nowadays, however, many colors also make it far below and close to 0%.
2. Transparency about color components
Transparency about the composition of the products. That means a disclosure about the product components and ingredients. This can help consumers make purchasing decisions and build confidence in the business.
3. Low emission during production
Environmentally friendly production can further reduce the company's environmental footprint. For example, recycling, reduction of CO2 emissions and the correct disposal of chemical substances are the focus here.
4. The myth of water-based paint
Water-based paints are made by name based on water. However, this does not necessarily mean that they are free of chemical additives. Therefore, make sure to choose products that are free from harmful preservatives and solvents, such as formaldehyde, isothiazolinone or vinyl.
