Low VOC Paint

Low VOC things for your home~Does not mean it is 100% safe, and you need to use caution. However, I use Benjamin Moore Eco Spec® paint for my home projects.

Benjamin Moore Introduces Eco Spec® Clean Air Formula Paint for Environmentally Sensitive Spaces.

Benjamin Moore & Co. introduces Eco Spec® paint, a professional quality, premium interior 100% acrylic latex paint system designed for both residential and commercial spaces where environmental concerns about air quality during application are a priority.

Eco Spec® paint is formulated to address the needs of the architectural and interior design communities, facility and maintenance specifiers, and professional contractors when specifying and applying clean air formula products are necessary. The Eco Spec® paint formula contains no solvents which release volatile organic compounds (VOCs) into the air. Both oil-based and conventional latex paints contain solvents that allow for the paint to be applied at a normal rate without drying rapidly. It is the solvents which give off the "painterly smell" associated with painting. Eco Spec® paint has virtually no odor during application, has a very short open time, and dries rapidly. This rapid dry allows for a space to be painted and put back into use within two hours after the job is completed. No residual paint smells exists.

"Eco Spec® paint’s quality performance and competitive price make it the ideal choice for jobs where environmental concerns exist about conventional paint odor and VOC emissions, and when there is a desire to reduce job site downtime," notes Jim S. Gorman, senior product manager for Benjamin Moore & Co.

Eco Spec® paint, a complete clean air formula interior paint system with a primer and three top coat finishes, flat, eggshell and semi-gloss, is offered in white and over 1000 custom colors.

Benjamin Moore & Co. is headquartered in Montvale, New Jersey and since 1883 is one of the country’s leading manufacturers of quality paints and stains.
