Our Green Policy Charter

As an industry coatings veteran with over 27 years of experience
both behind a brush, but also in a trade show booth or out in the
field, it always amazes me when a potential client is NOT AWARE
of the dangers of solvented coatings that contain benzene, stoddard
solvents and MEK (methyl ethyl ketone).

We do NOT apply or believe in any commercial usage of the following:

• Amino Alkyd Conversion Lacquers - yellow quickly, flash combustible
• Oil based polyurethane Floor Coatings - check the Web for cases of worksite 
• explosions and exposure injuries
• Oil based or Hybrid Trim Paints - did you know 1 gallon contains 5lbs of solvent ?
• Do you want to huff and breathe this in while it off-gases as it cures ???

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Anyone spraying solvented lacquers is what we call a "militant throwback"
someone who thinks that because it is a post catalyzed finish that uses
MEK as its flash solvent to cure is a good thing ? That it cleans and lasts longer ?
The risks of using these products is ridiculous and the sole reason most oil-based
paints have been removed from the market for consumer sale.

Acrylics are the present, and the future of coatings, they are safer, less or NO VOC
and can be cleaned up with water. There is no reason for any kitchen refinisher
to continue using dangerous solvented lacquers. IT IS NOT WORTH the RISK.
Mesothelioma is a fast-killer once diagnosed in anyone spraying MEK based
lacquers or paints.

DO NOT ask us to apply solvented, flash combustible clear coats or lacquers,
it will never happen.
