I wish I had known this a year ago. My office mate painted the office and it made me physically ill - headaches and a skin rash. I had to leave a fan blowing overnight for three nights until I could use the office.

Green is the new black, but to be truly green, rather than fashionably green takes a little bit more effort. This post on environmentally friendly ZERO VOC Paint has opened my eyes to what the paint story is all about. Replacing obvious poisons with other ones doesn’t make sense, so I will make sure I get what I was expecting to get thje next time paint is purchased by me.

I have to say that this is the only why to go, looking out for our environment is really important and it helps us to be more aware, I have yet to use these but I will be looking out for them in the future.

Thanks for the information, I regularly use latex paints in kitchens, but zero VOC paints are the future, they have come a long way and performance is now comparable to alkyd paints, the only hurdle is the added expense, but as regulations tighten and consumers become aware of VOC issues then no doubt the cost will come down.

I recently used a no VOC paint to paint my house called ECOtrend. I had a really good experience with the paint. and they use eggshells for the binder instead of chemicals.

The quality of VOC paint is awesome the color is very natural plus it is environmental friendly, well using this kind of paint is slightly meticulous you need to do the painting quickly for as what the poster above said it dries quickly

Exactly, since there is no organic paint, it is up to us as painters to be eco friendly.

There is the FreshAire Choice as well. Unlike other paints it has a dry packed colorant and adding color wont add VOC’s. Most colorants just add VOC’s right back to the base paint. Check out the site http://freshairechoice.com/

Hi there!

Great article! I came across it while researching about “zero-voc” paints for my own blog. I added a link on mine to this page so my readers can become more informed too.

Thanks,
Sarah

I know in CA they are pretty strict on regular paint on how high their VOC percentage is. Its good to see that they are making improvements on chemicals that are harmful to us, I always was amazed on how even a little bit of a harmful chemical is okay to use.

Yes, Zero-VOC paint has come a long way. In my experience it spreads as well as the old style paint. The colors seem consistent, and I haven’t noticed them to be any less durable. The only problem I see is the added expense, but I have noticed the price coming more in line. At some point it will probably be the only option available….which is a good thing.

Hey, I’ve seen this paint on TV before… I think it was featured on Holmes on Homes, or possible Disaster DIY… well, one of those million renovation shows on these days. Anyway, it seemed like good stuff, their plug definitely wasn’t as in depth as this was though. Thanks for the info mate, I’ll be sure to keep all of this in mind the next time I decide to repaint.

I painted my kitchen with Olympic paint (green seal certified) with zero VOC colorant…Even if paint is sold as ‘zero VOC’, the pigment in the color can still add VOC. The kitchen looks great and the paint didn’t have a strong odor at all.

very cool, out art school is looking to repaint and remodel 10 of our 20 schools. I will have to let estates know about this paint as we have been trying to “go green” and market ourselves as such. Out clientele tend to appreciate this type of philosophy

Hello,

I recently painted my kitched with Yolo Colorhouse, 0 VOC paint. I was looking to repaint my kitchen for sometime now, but I wanted to find not only a green paint..but a green company. After doing some research I found Yolo. They are based in Portland, OR, and take sustainably beyond the can. The cans are recycled plastic, recycled paper labels and they have large hand rolled paint samples, real paint.

I love everything about this company..they are really doing something right.
