A UNIQUE RANGE of PRODUCTS

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

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

As a result they 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 paints means that rooms are safe and pleasant to live in-play in-sleep in-eat in!

ECOS E.M.R - E.L.F RADIATION SHIELDING WALLPAINT

This NEW super - conductive wallpaint uses non toxic nickel pigment to provide a shield against electrical radiations in the home and workplace - and like all ECOS products is entirely odourless and solvent - free.

Electrical radiations - ( ELF/VLF/EMR pollutions) - arise from many sources - mobile phone masts, Tetra masts, overhead electricity pylons, microwave and cellular telephone installations, TV and radio masts, electrical appliances of all sorts including mobile phones, hairdryers, TV and radio sets, mobile masts, refrigerators, cookers, washing machines, computers, etc.and has also been linked to "Geopathic stress." Brick and concrete walls are no barrier to EMR-ELF radiation and next door's TV set or microwave oven could be just feet away from your head!

Electrical AND electromagnetic radiations have been researched for many years as possible causes of ill-health, but remain problematic and contentious - overhead pylons for example, have been linked to childhood leukaemia and lung cancer, but the link is as yet unproven.
Other illnesses which are thought may be linked to ELF OR EMR radiations include; immune system disorders, memory loss, allergies, depression, colonic complaints. Candida, chronic fatigue syndrome, multiple sclerosis, reduced fertility, Alzheimer's disease, altered brain function, brain tumours, disturbed sleep patterns and miscarriage.

ECOS EMR / ELF shielding wallpaint is a permanent wall treatment that gives up to 99% shielding against ELF/VLF/EMR radiations and needs no special equipment or expertise; it gives permanent shielding forever and is intended to be over - painted: the paint colour is dark grey and is not intended to be a decorative finish:- it can be overcoated with any of our wall paints.

ECOS EMR/ELF - (once overpainted) - can also be overcoated with wallpaper.
Coverage - applied with a gloss roller or short pile roller - on a flat non porous surface coverage is approx.
14m² /L per coat:- one 5L can should be sufficient for an "average" sized room (14 x 12 x 8 ft.)
Two medium coats are better than one thick coat for shielding efficiency.

In addition to home use, ECOS ELF EMR wallpaint may also be beneficial in industrial applications - computer rooms, hospital IC units and other facilities where EMR from mobile phones etc is problematic.

Available in 1L and 5L packs. Independently tested by POWERWATCH to give 99% Shielding against microwaves. POWERWATCH is the UK's leading pressure group on EMR.

NOTE: most modern TV equipment has an external aerial and so reception is not affected by the use of this paint which can affect reception to indoor TV/radio aerials.

These two unique products allow ultimate air purity and are ideal for asthmatics and those with ME, allergies or chemical sensitivities:
