A UNIQUE RANGE of emulsions

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

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

As a result organic paints are ideal for children's bedrooms, nurseries, kitchens and anywhere in the home, especially if you or a member of your family is chemically sensitive or suffers from asthma or allergies. Using ECOS organic paints means that rooms are safe and pleasant to live in-play in-sleep in-eat in!
