| Ecoshield™ W 600 Series Ecoshield™ is a low-odor/Zero-VOC interior paint formulated with no added solvents, so it has very low odor. Ecoshield is ideal when painting must be done while the building is occupied because it is less offensive to people bothered by paint odor. Ecoshield is designed for projects where indoor air quality is a concern and is recommended for schools, hospitals, hotels, homes, office buildings and other closed-ventilation buildings. Ecoshied is available in a Primer (W 600), Flat (W 601), Low Sheen (W 602) and Semi-Gloss (W 603) finishes. Paint odor is caused by two factors - the type of resin used and the amount of solvent added. All resins have odor to some degree, but Ecoshield uses a special resin with a very low odor compared to most commercial resins. Ecoshield also has none of the solvents that are added to conventional water-based paints. As paint dries, solvents evaporate naturally, releasing odor. Since Ecoshield doesn't contain added solvents, it has very low odor. write your comments about the article :: © 2005 Construction News :: home page |
