 | | SHOW YOUR (ECOLOGICAL) COLOURS AN ENVIRONMENTALLY CONSCIOUS PAINT RANGE | | | Natural Building Technology (NBT) | | 11/10/2006 | | | Environmental product specialists Natural Building Technologies now supplies a colourful trade range of emulsions, eggshells, glosses and timber paints, all of which have been designed specifically to tackle the most difficult environmental and health issues that arise from paints. These issues include toxicity, VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds), embodied energy, carbon emissions, resource use and pollution.
The new, water based, 20-colour paint range, plus 5 timber paint colours, maintain the highest performance and finish standards, are cost effective, easy and pleasant to apply and give an elegant but hardwearing result.
Unlike conventional paints, the new range is ultra-low in pollution, non-toxic, non-allergenic and produces virtually zero VOCs. Additionally, it contains no artificial petrochemical solvents but can still provide both subtle and vibrant colours in a practical, easy to apply and cost effective manner.
The range represents a significant step forward for both human and environmental health as it radically reduces the use of synthetic and hazardous materials, replacing these with high-performance low-impact alternatives. For example, they contain no solvents, hormone mimics or chlorinated preservatives - additionally they considerably reduced resins and TiO2. Over recent years NBT has also managed to reduce the embedded energy in its the paints by 30%.
The paints are manufactured in the UK. | |
