Selfcoat Eco Paint's most revolutionary characteristics and ability to meet industrial performance demands whilst posing no threat to the environment have positioned the company at the forefront of the Eco Friendly paint industry.
What are VOCs in paint?
VOCs are solvents that get released into the air as the paint dries. (Other products emit solvents, including adhesives, cleaning supplies, and even some home furnishings.) VOCs can cause acute symptoms, including headaches and dizziness. The long-term effects are less certain, but according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, some VOCs are suspected carcinogens.
A handful of paints whose manufacturers claim they contain zero VOCs are now on the market. Selfcoat is one of these products.
Indoor air is three times more polluted than outdoor air
according to the EPA, is considered one of the top 5 hazards to human health. Paints and finishes are among the leading causes.Paints and finishes release low level toxic emissions into the air for years after application. The source of these toxins is a variey of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) which, until recently, were essential to the performance of the paint.
New environmental regulations, and consumer demand, have led to the development of low-VOC and zero-VOC paints and finishes. Most paint manufacturers now produce one or more non-VOC variety of paint. These new paints are durable, cost-effective and less harmful to human and environmental health.
