Legislation coming into force in 2010 will affect the levels of VOC (volatile organic compounds) in decorative paints. this legislation will place a limit on the maximum amount of voc that can be put into decorative paints.

How does this affect you, the Customer?

This  is an attempt to reduce the level of harmful contaminants and chemicals released into the environment. VOC's contribute to air pollution and have been linked to global warming.

Currently all waterbased paint products are VOC 2010 compliant, while many manufacturers are working to make their solvent based products so.
