Zero VOCs

ecolour paints have Zero Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) outgassing. They are completely non toxic and will not affect the quality of your indoor air whether home, office or commercial premises.

Regular paints release toxic solvents and petrochemicals into the air as they dry. These are known as Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) and are proven to contribute to many health conditions including cancer, sick building syndrome, breathing difficulties, dizziness, headaches, fatigue and blurred vision. VOCs can continue outgassing for many years after application severely reducing the quality of your indoor air.

ecolour paints have ZERO Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) outgassing, and therefore the vapours are completely non-toxic and safe to use around babies, pregnant women or the chemically sensitive.

Carbon Neutral Product

ecolour is the first climate friendly paint on the market to use a waste product as a key ingredient. Backed by 20 years of research and development, this breakthrough technology turns recycled re-refined waste engine oil into water-based paint.

Australia currently burns more than 240 million litres of waste oil per year as a furnace fuel, which produces high carbon emissions. Yet for ecolour, the oil acts as a preservative and provides durability, superior coverage and smooth application qualities to the paint. ecolour receives carbon credits for it’s use of a waste product, and has had the business and products certified Carbon Neutral.

ecolour receives carbon credits for our use of a toxic waste product that would otherwise be burnt as a high carbon emitting fuel. These are then  offset against the carbon footprint of the other ingredients. We incorporate environmentally friendly processes and have also purchased carbon credits.  The Carbon Reduction Institute has subsequently certified ecolour as completely carbon neutral – a first in the paint industry.
