A UNIQUE range of emulsions

Green Paints - ECOS varnishes are a completely unique range of decorative finishes. It's the only range of totally solvent-free 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 emulsion 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 products INCLUDING Matt and Silk wall emulsion!

Most emulsions currently on sale, both gloss and emulsion, contain solvents and VOCs. ECOS products contain none.

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

ECOS ATMOSPHERE PURIFYING EMULSION (worldwide patents pending)
This revolutionary matt wall emulsion absorbs and neutralizes chemicals and pollutants, solvents and VOC's from the atmosphere in your home down to approx. one part per million. The air in your home can be 70x more polluted than the outdoors - a cocktail of solvents and chemicals like formaldehyde* from sources such as carpets, furnishings, M.D.F. some products and lacquers, cleaning products, personal products, aerosols etc. The special molecular sieve ingredients in ECOS ATMOSPHERE absorbs and neutralizes those pollutants permanently and is not exhausted within the average redecorating schedules of approx. five years. Unlike air purifying units it requires no power supply, maintenance or filters, simply apply as normal wall paint and when dry, it will absorb pollutants 24 hours a day all year round. Absorbs 98-99% of volatile pollutants down to approx. one part per million (Gas chromatographic data).
Available in white and 108 colours. 5 litre pack Coverage approx. 60M²\5L.
To minimise cost, use ECOS matt in same colour as base coat.

COMMON ENQUIRIES

Q - Why is solvent-free important?
A - Because not only are lingering paint smells in the home unpleasant, but many emulsions including most matt and silk emulsions 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
