SENS — a leap in safety and performance The emissions (vapours) produced by SENS are incredibly low and virtually non-existent after only 24 hours, as can be seen from this diagram. Some competitor indoor paints require up to 4 weeks for their emission rates to fall to the same minimal level of emission SENS achieves just one day after application. The emissions SENS does produce is harmless and comprises mainly water.

For optimum colour rendition and quality with Sens or any other Jotun products, use the superior Jotun Multicolour System. Colour can vary according to light conditions, coat finish (i.e. gloss or matt), structure and foundation. Consequently, these colour charts are intended as a guide only.
