When coating your walls with regular paint, you\u2019re always going to go for a safe brand for you, your family and where possible, good for the environment as well. So, why should your whiteboard paint<\/a> be any different?<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

We\u2019re proud to introduce the latest addition to the ESCREO family: the ESCREO Eco White Primer and paint. Now, you can convert any wall or surface in your home into a creative or productive space without worrying about chemicals and other nasties that can affect your immediate environment. But what were the issues in the first place? Let\u2019s take a look.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Is regular paint dangerous?<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Common household paint is made up of different chemicals and substances – some of which aren\u2019t particularly organic or even 100% safe. One such substance is known as Titanium Dioxide, and is a major part of white paints thanks to its high opacity and ability to hide any colours or shades that it covers. But, even though it has its uses, it\u2019s not without potential downsides.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

On September 2, 2011, the California Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA), listed titanium dioxide (airborne, unbound particles of respirable size) as a cancer causing agent<\/a> (through inhalation), and Europe is also planning to ban its use in foods<\/a>.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Now, we don\u2019t want to cause a panic, as you most likely have used common white paint in different areas of your home. The banning of Titanium Dioxide is a precautionary measure, and not anywhere near the dangers of asbestos and other harmful materials. The powder form of the substance presents no risk when incorporated in a finished product<\/a> (such as paint) as the finer particles cannot disperse in the air.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

But, if you could have the choice between a paint that has it, and one that hasn\u2019t, it\u2019s pretty easy to make a choice.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Care for your home and the environment<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

At ESCREO, we want your home and workplace to be as safe, creative and productive as possible. While there are other writable paints out there, you can be sure that ours is amongst the safest. We don\u2019t want regulations to force us to change the ingredients in our paints: instead, we like to be proactive and take the initiative wherever possible to keep us at the top of our game, and our customers at the top of theirs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

So, that\u2019s a lot of talking, but what are the specifics? Here\u2019s a little more about why ESCREO Eco White Primer paint is your best choice for safety and quality:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
