EARTHBORN DOUBLES SILICATE COLOURS
Exterior masonry is probably the toughest test of all for a paint.
It needs to be durable and weatherproof, as well as good looking
and not all masonry paints were born equal. Ecopro Silicate
Masonry Paint is a highly durable, breathable and weather
resistant mineral paint, which is also is virtually VOC and toxin
free.
Earthborn believes its Ecopro Silicate Masonry System is the
most advanced masonry paint available and in response to a
growing demand, it is increasing the colours available from 24
to 48.
The system comprises a primer and paint, which together form a
chemical bond with the underlying mineral substrate. The result
is a very hard wearing, water and weather resistant barrier, yet
it is highly breathable, which prevents moisture damage within
walls.
Now, both the primer and all of the 48 paint colours are available
in 100ml tester pots, so the whole system can be tested on site.
The new colour card and tester pots can be ordered from the
Earthborn website.

DULUX TRADE BECOMES FIRST MAJOR
MANUFACTURER TO LAUNCH RECYCLED
PAINT IN PARTNERSHIP WITH VEOLIA UK
As part of its
ongoing commitment to
reducing the impact of paint
on the environment, experts
at Dulux Trade with
Veolia have created a
ground-breaking matt
emulsion made from 35
percent recycled paint.
The market leaders
have developed Evolve, a
revolutionary product made
from the leftovers of other
people’s paint tins, in a bid to
reduce the amount of paint
wasted and going into landfill.
To create Dulux Trade Evolve, the paint manufacturer has partnered
with resource management experts Veolia, to extract unused white
paint from tins at its recycling centres.
In doing so, Dulux Trade has reduced the carbon footprint of each
litre of Evolve paint produced by more than 10 percent.
