A UNIQUE RANGE of VOC-free (Volatile Organic Compounds)paints

ECOS paints and varnishes are a completely unique VOC free 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.
