ECOS wall paints offer a completely unique range of decorative finishes. It's the only range of totally solvent-free paints 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.
Available in Pure White, Standard, Heritage and Tropics colours. Coverage is 65 sq m per 5 litres per coat on hard non porous surfaces. No special ventilation is required. These paints are touch dry within 1 hr, re-coatable in 2 hrs and fully hardened within 24 hrs. Best results usually achieved with 2 to 3 coats. Excellent brush and roller application, these can also be airless sprayed. They have excellent dirt and stain resistance and can be wiped with a damp cloth. Please remember to state finish - matt or soft sheen.

We used the matt wall paint in our house and will never use any other paint again. Though more costly, it was well worth the price. My husband is very sensitive to paints (eyes, skin, headaches, etc.) and he experienced none of these symptoms with these paints. The paints have virtually no smell (very, very, very slight and it is not offensive in the least). As a result, it just wasn't a big deal to get the painting done. Importantly the paints also look great. Our decorator (who was very skeptical of having to use paints different from his norm) actually commented on how much he liked applying the wall paint (i.e. better than regular paint). Our walls look great, they are better for the environment and our health, and I can't recommend them enough. In our view, the eggshell was good too - though our decorator felt it was lower performance than the wall paint (it has a slightly more chalky feel than normal eggshell). Nonetheless we are very happy with the eggshell and I will absolutely be using it again too.
Completely solvent free (as with all Ecos products)
