Why Choose Low-VOC Paints?Under normal conditions, the United States Environmental Protection Agency's Total Exposure Assessment Methodology (TEAM) studies found levels of about a dozen common organic pollutants (including VOCs) to be 2 to 5 times higher inside the home than outside. The findings were the same regardless of its location in the rural or highly industrialized areas*.Solvents that are used in paint to control drying time and application proper ties are one source of VOCs. Additional TEAM studies indicate that while waiting for paint to dry, VOC levels are higher indoors than that found outdoors.*Because interior paints are usually applied in enclosed occupied spaces, individuals could be exposing themselves and those around them to vapours from freshly painted surfaces which can linger in the air for a period after the activity is completed.Improve quality of life by choosing the environmentally and occupant friendly low-VOC paint.

What Are VOCs?Volatile Organic Compounds, or VOCs, are chemicals present in cer tain products and are emitted as gases when these products are used. Some may cause adverse shor t and long-term health effects. VOCs are sometimes accidentally released into the environment, where they can cause air pollution, contaminate groundwater and damage soil.

Products Containing VOCs• Paints• Lacquers• Cleaning Supplies• Adhesives• Paint Strippers• Varnishes & MoreAll these products can release VOCswhile being used or even whenthey are in storage.

Low-VOC Paints.Eco and Health Friendly.Global warming and growing health concerns have increased the awareness of environmental issues around the world. Planning an interior painting project needs to take into account factors such as performance, aesthetic appeal, environmental responsibility and its impact on occupants. All these weigh heavily on the selection of the appropriate product.In line with the construction industry's move towards more environmentally - friendly buildings, the BCA Green Mark rating system includes the close examination of paints' impact on both the environment and building air quality. In Malaysia, Per tubuhan Arkitek Malaysia (PAM) is in the process of implementing the Green Building Index (GBI) relevant for Malaysian conditions. Paints are one of the sources of indoor air pollution. The most impor tant factor for a paint to be considered environmentally and occupant friendly is that it contains a low amount of volatile organic compounds (VOC).
