Eco-Friendly Paints

 Eco-friendly paint, or natural paint, is paint that has been specially designed to have lower levels of volatile organic compounds (VOCs, for short).


 What are volatile organic compounds?
(VOCs) are organic chemicals that have a high vapor pressure at ordinary room temperature.
Their high vapor pressure results from a low boiling point, which causes large numbers of molecules to evaporate or sublimate from the liquid or solid form of the compound and enter the surrounding air, a trait known as volatility. For example, formaldehyde, which evaporates from paint and releases from materials like quartz, has a boiling point of only –19 °C (–2 °F).

-Beware of (Greenwash) while the base paint may meet standards, added colorants can cause VOCs
to shoot up, and the darker the colorant the more VOCs.

Electrostatic Paintings

-It is used on all kinds of metal.
-Create a uniform and durable finish without sags, runs. drips and bubbles.
-It is an environmentally  friendly process as there are no solvents to evaporate into the air or go down the drain.
-It uses the principal of Opposite Attract to adhere to every kind of metal.
-When applied, the charged paint is attracted to the grounded surface to insure a proper coating.
