| Ecos Organic Paints are organic, solvent free products made in Heysham, Lancashire which is about 25 miles north of Preston. There is a full range of emulsions, gloss, varnish etc along with several special paints like insulating and feng-shui. The company is based in Heysham near Morecambe and sells by mail order, website or phone. We have used the paint in several rooms and it is quite odour free, applies easily and has lasted well. Find out more on their website linked below. Quote from their website; ECOS paints and varnishes are a completely unique range of decorative finishes. It's the only range of totally solvent-free paints and varnishes available anywhere in the world today and has been independently tested to reveal 0.0% VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds). VOCs are a major contributor to low-level atmospheric pollution and the use of these compounds leads to global warming. In addition, the use of solvent-based paints is a major cause of Sick Building Syndrome, Danish Painter's Syndrome, Asthma, Allergies, Chemical Sensitivities and the general Flu-like symptoms reported by many people using conventional paints INCLUDING Matt and Silk wall paints! Most paints currently on sale, both gloss and emulsion, contain solvents and VOCs. ECOS paints contain none. As a result they are ideal for children's bedrooms, nurseries, kitchens and anywhere in the home, especially if you or a member of your family is chemically sensitive or suffers from asthma or allergies. Using ECOS paints means that rooms are safe and pleasant to live in-play in-sleep in-eat in! |
