What are VOC’s and why should we be avoiding them?
The VOC acronym stands for Volatile Organic Compounds, which are carbon-containing compounds emitted as gasses into the air.
There are 500+ known VOC’s which are listed by the World Health Organisation as being toxic to humans. They accumulate within human fat cells.
Paints and other materials like furnishings, building materials, adhesives, carpets, MDF and cleaning fluids can emit these gases for years.
These gasses contribute to ozone pollution, which is bad for the environment, and they also pollute the air inside homes or classrooms, which can be detrimental for our health.
The EPA reports that VOCs can lead to adverse health effects like:
eye, nose and throat irritation
headaches
increased asthma attacks and allergies
liver, kidneys and central nervous system damage
behavioural and learning difficulties
cancer
Yikes, right?

“After working on this project for 18 months, I am so excited to be able to release these new Zero VOC products. With total confidence, I can say it is better for people and the environment.”
We will continue to reformulate all our paints and mediums until our entire collection of products is Zero VOC. It’s a big job, but we know it’s in the best interest of our children, our customers, our team and our planet.
