Browse Forums Finishing Touch 1 Mar 31, 2009 12:41 pm When asked what interior paint to choose, Mike Beresford, Manager, Rohm and Haas Paint Quality Institute (PQI) recommends top-quality 100% acrylic water-based paints. The premium 100% acrylic water based interior paints have low levels of VOCs (volatile organic compounds), the ingredients that may contribute to indoor air pollution and odour. These paints emit minimal fumes which is better for the environment and for people who may be sensitive to fumes or suffer from allergies. With advances in paint technology painters can now do away with the traditional solvent based enamels used on trim work, such as skirting boards and doors. Like all water based paints, painters do not need to use smelly solvents when cleaning up. Brushes and rollers are simply washed in soap and water. Another benefit is that using quality 100% acrylic water based paints enables using the room soon after painting, often on the same day, causing minimal disruption to the family’s routine. The latest water based acrylic enamels are as tough as traditional enamels while offering a range of performance, convenience and environmental benefits that put them well ahead for most applications. As well as being better for the environment, quality 100% acrylic paints offer washability and durability.
