VOC or Volatile Organic Compounds
|
| VOCs
are organic solvents contained in paint. Growing concerns about VOCs
are mainly related to emission problems. As paint dries after
application, its solvents are released into the atmosphere. Since
VOCs are precursors for smog (gas mixture formed in the lower
atmosphere when UV rays interact with certain pollutants), they have
been identified as pollutants.
You should know, however, that all Sico latex products comply with environment protection standards. Such standards aim at reducing VOC emissions in order to improve the quality of air, thereby reducing potential negative effects on our health. Make the right choice by looking for our containers bearing the seal MEETS CANADIAN VOC STANDARDS. By selecting a VOC-free paint, you will be making a more responsible choice. Incidentally, the Sico Design product line made up of Cashmere, Chamois, and Shantung was recently entirely reformulated to contain zero VOCs, to help improve the quality of air. This product line also proudly carries the Green Seal logo, an independent non-profit organization that ensures that a product meets rigorous, science-based environmental leadership standards.
