Have you ever painted a really small and tight room and felt like you were gonna fall to the floor or pass out from the fumes? It certainly can’t be a good thing right? Stupid question (I know), but I’d be curious to know what kind of health impact fumes and smells from a lifetime of painting would have on an individual that did this for a career? Well it seems that some alternatives are being made to those common, toxic smelling paints…
Indoor air quality is increasing becoming an issue that many people are looking at. Breathing the air that you create in your own home should be somewhat of a concern. The commonly known alternative paint is called volatile organic compounds (VOC) but so-called “Zero VOC” products on the market reduce emissions that cause outdoor air pollution, but still contain a host of unregulated toxic ingredients (such as formaldehyde, ammonia, acetone, exempt solvents and odor masking agents) that cause indoor air pollution. Step in AFM Safecoat!
AFM Safecoat meets the highest standards of environmental responsibility and eliminate toxic ingredients such as solvents, heavy metals, chemical residuals, formaldehyde and other harmful preservatives. The products are structured to literally create a “safe coat,” with a unique molecular formulation designed to seal surfaces (from wood to metal to concrete, carpets, and much more), thus reducing “offgassing,” or the emission of toxins into your environment.
When you step back and look at it, for the newly emerging eco-aware individual, this is probably an over looked aspect of what you can do to help make a difference to the environment and your health.
