What are VOC's?
Conventional paints can make the air you breathe a chemical cocktail, even long after they have dried, as they continue to release petroleum based solvents, called Volatile Organic Compounds ( VOCs), as they cure. For this reason we prefer to use zero or Low Voc paint products, which is better for both our health and you and your family.
Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC's) are petroleum based solvents found in most paint products, as the paint dries these solvents are released into the air contributing air pollution which is then linked to the growing greenhouse gas issue and climate change.
The benefits to the environment, us and the customer of using a low or zero VOC product are pretty evident. Apart from these products reducing our greenhouse footprint, they also provide direct benefits to us and the customer, for example a decrease in asthmatic reactions and allergic sensitisation.
