If among your plans is to make modification to your walls and furniture it is important that you continue reading this post, think about the importance of taking care of the environment and your health. Currently in the market there is a wide variety of low-polluting products that we often ignore, with durable elasticity and that are degraded less by the combined action of the climatic aspects of the environment.
These ecological products are formulated based on water, that is, they do not use oils and solvents derived from hydrocarbons to affect the mixing of pigments and resins. This type of paint, in addition to not emit toxic gases, are considered very profitable if you compare their price with all the advantages they have, since, although their cost can be high, they present a better performance, less splash and even a drying faster.
From the wide variety of paints on the market you can find paints in matt rubber, satin and water-based enamel, with a high quality that guarantees perfect and luminous finishes in the home. Currently they are used to paint children's spaces, dormitories, clinics, hotels and offices, since not being a solvent base (the main cause of the strong smell perceived in freshly painted rooms), they make possible the immediate occupation of spaces.
Ecological Varnishes
The aqueous varnishes contain 7% of the main agent that we are mentioning from the beginning that is the solvent, and the conventional varnishes have 60% of it. If we make a comparison we can reflect it in the following way, 1 kg of synthetic varnish contaminates the air with 600 g of solvent in the form of gas, while 1 kg of aqueous varnish will emit a maximum of 70 grams.
With this comparison it can be concluded that the conventional varnish throws to the environment a pollution degree eight times greater than that which can generate an aqueous varnish; This is an important reason to consider changing for the less toxic coating when restoring a piece of wood furniture.
This type of aqueous varnish has been defined as "ecologically friendly to man and the planet", because it does not put your health at risk and our planet does not suffer. In addition, they are widely used by the prevention departments of factories because they are non-flammable and increase safety.
Among the technical benefits, this type of varnishes has shown to have a resistance to atmospheric agents far above the common varnishes. So, do not think that being friendly with the environment is of poor quality.
Finally, it is important to highlight another great advantage provided by these biodegradable paints and that is that you can clean the application equipment (brushes and rollers) with water, this being your only thinner.
