Common questions about environmentally friendly paints
What is Low VOC Paint?
Low VOC paints contain minimal levels of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs). VOCs are found in most household products and are emitted into the environment when the products are opened.
Paint & Paper Library’s eco-friendly paints contain lower amounts of VOCs and harmful chemicals than ordinary paints, posing a lower impact to the environment.
Are water solvent paints eco-friendly?
Water-based paint finishes contain lower VOCs than traditional oil-based finishes, and require no specialist cleaners. Paint brushes can be cleaned simply by rinsing them in water.
