Like a Breath of Fresh Air

Freshaire Paint There is a new line of paints from ICI called the Freshaire Choice that are VOC-free in both the base and the tint colors. The reason this is noteworthy is that in many paints the base color may be VOC-free but the tint can add a large amount of VOCs back into the paint. The neat thing about the tint system for the Freshaire paint is that it uses a solid colorant instead of a liquid tint. The colorant comes in a package and it is placed in the base, bag included. A quick, easy, precise, and environmentally friendly way to color paint. The paint ranges from around $35 to $38 per gallon and it will be available exclusively at the Home Depot starting in April. The Freshaire Choice Paint product assortment consists of flat, eggshell and semi-gloss finishes, as well as drywall interior primer and ceiling paint.
