The invisible dangers of traditional paint and coatings
What many people don’t know: the solvents (VOCs) in traditional paint and coatings react with nitrogen oxides (NOx) and sunlight. The result? Smog, ozone (03) and fine particular matter (PM 2,5); the silent pollutants of our air.
These substances not only cause respiratory problems and neurological disorders such as Alzheimer’s but also disrupt the natural nitrogen balance. The formation of nitrates and organic compounds leads to an excess of nitrogen in our environment, resulting in acidification, reduced biodiversity, and damage to flora and fauna.
The solution is clear:
Choose coatings without solvents, without VOCs, and without harmful emissions.
This way, we protect not only our infrastructure but also our health and our planet.
