Volatile Organic Compounds
Or VOCs as they are fondly referred to. VOCs are found in the off gassing of harmful chemicals and pollutants commonly found in solvent-based finishes, adhesives, carpeting, particleboard, and many other building products. One of the more common ways that VOCs escape into our living habitat is through paint, stains and sealers. Safecoat paints and primers offer a full range of ecologically safe enamel paints as well as other safe sealants and stains. The paints are taintable with zero VOC colorants in a variety of shades. Their products are fully LEEDS certified and they are available throughout the U.S. The air we breathe is polluted enough with everyday toxins. Check out the Safecoat website at www.safecoatpaint.com, to view their full range of environmentally safe products. They offer downloadable spec sheets on their products so you can compare them to other products you might be considering. Using zero VOC paints and stains can help our immediate surroundings to be a little more healthy - and that’s a good thing.
