Environmentally Friendly Products - Eco Paints
Water based paints require the used of flowing agents, driers and other raw materials which emit odors and pollutants. These are known as Volatile Organic Compounds or VOC's for short. As the green movement surges forward, paint manufacturer's have responded by producing paints with low or no VOC content. These paints are known as low VOC and in some cases, 0 VOC paints.
Benjamin Moore introduces a brand new 0 VOC interior paint!!!!The product line is named Natura™ , and consists of a primer, flat, eggshell and semi-gloss finish. Natura™ uses the revolutionary 0 VOC Genex™ tinting system. This premium performing product provides legendary Benjamin Moore performance with virtually no odor. The Eco Spec™ line from Benjamin Moore is a more economical 0 VOC alternative. It also consists of a primer, flat, eggshell and semi-gloss finish product line. Eco Spec™ also utilizes the Genex™ colorant system and is available in a full range of Benjamin Moore colors. Eco Spec™ is Greenguard Indoor Air Quality Certified™ as well as meeting the Green Seal Environmental Standards for organic compounds.
Current regulations allow paints which are 0 VOC before tinting, to be labeled as 0 VOC after tinting, even though VOC laden colorants are added to achieve the desired color of paint. As described above, Natura™ and Eco Spec™ both utilize the Genex™ colorant system. Genex™ colorants are 0 VOC. This allows the paints to maintain 0 VOC content AFTER TINTING, unlike most other 0 VOC paints.
