What You Can’t See Can Be Harmful
VOCís (Volatile Organic Compounds) are invisible solvent vapours, which are released into the air as the paint film is applied and dries. VOCís react with the air to form ground level ozone, a major contributor to odour and air polluting smog. These compounds have been traditionally used in conventional paints to improve their application characteristics, water resistance and freeze thaw stability. Interior Horizon has a VOC content of less than 1 gram/litre, and Exterior Horizon has low VOCís that meet Green Seal certification standards. Horizon is a new generation of enviro-friendly coatings that have eliminated the harmful and odour causing ingredients without compromising the performance characteristics of the paint.
Superior Performance
Horizon is a high-performance paint with excellent hiding power and washability. It is enhanced with antimicrobial agents to provide continuous protection against bacteria, mold and mildew that cause stains and odours on the dried film. You can expect equal or better flow and leveling to Cloverdaleís best interior and exterior paint.
