Only natural materials are used to produce this kind of paints.
They don’t pollute and are great for allergic people.
Conventional varnishes and paints contain volatile elements that damage the environment, our health, and our pet’s.
Only vegetal and mineral components are used in the production of the ecologic paints.
These ingredients are harmless during production, application and waste.
Main Advantages
As already stated above, these paints do not contain toxic substances, such as biocides or plastics; for that reason, their environmental impact is less damaging than synthetic products.
Going Green paints complete and exceed quality standards. They do not cause toxic volatile gases that harm the environment and our health.
150 natural, renewable, biodegradable substances, that do not produce toxic gas emanations, are used during its production.
A great deal of this substances are harvest nearby the paint factory to reduce transporting energy cost.
Some of the materials used in production are oils and vegetal derivates, such as bee wax, tree leaves, caseine, plants and metal oxide and recyclable products.
Trischler & Partner, of Frieburg, Germany studied the environmental impact of “going green paints”. The result showed, that a 2000sq ft house, find out that 12.000 jules of energy consumption, 80 m³ of emissions, 100.000 l of residual water, 170 l of solid residue are 560 kg of carbon dioxide were saved by not using conventional paints.
These ecologic paints form a porous layer that allows walls to breath.
Water steam and humidity don’t build up, as happens with conventional paints. Therefore, the wall paint does not chapped.
This characteristic, prevents fungus and bacteria, to grow.
Which warranties a more hygienic and good standing condition paint.
Ecologic paints are also fire retardant and don’t produce toxic gases, while burning.
They make easier the re-paint job, as they don’t have to be removed.
You can paint over the old paint layer, on walls, ceilings, painted papers, wallpaper, fiber paper, cardboard, gypsum, clay, bricks or blocks.
They come in a wide variety of colors.
Wood protection
Wood as a living element, absorbs and looses humidity. Depending on temperature it dilates or it shrinks.
Ecologic Varnishes go along with wood changes. That means that theydo not crack or chapped.
On the other hand, synthetic varnishes or sealers, create a superficial layer, that isolates wood from the exterior.
Synthetic varnishes form a rigid layer, that gets chapped, due to the interior tension cause by dilatation and contraction. Living wood exposed to aggressive elements that deteriorates its look.
Then it becomes necessary to remove old varnish and reapply.
Vegetal oils have the advantage to penetrate the wood and protect it from the inside. These elastic products, protect wood and allow it to expand and contract in a natural manner, prevent wood from chapping. Giving wood a longer lasting , low maintenance finish.
Green Roofs and Walls photosynthesis process consumes CO2 and releases O2.
