Green Paint

Environmentally friendly products are on the rise, and it's no secret that many of our products in American contain toxic chemicals. Those who are health conscious tend to look more for those products that are all natural, and choosing paint is no exception. Green living has become a common term in America's language which is why everyone is talking about choosing a green paint over a standard paint, and there are many advantages to doing so. The Basis of Using green Paint Using green paint doesn't necessarily refer to the color but the meaning behind what the paint is and what it will do. Real Milk Paint is safe for the environment, but it is also safe for those who use it. The paint can be mixed with pigment powders to create almost any color, and it's perfectly safe to use on the interior of your home, as well as those outdoor areas of your home that you wish to enhance with a little color. Real Milk Paint was originally designed to touch up antiques and focus on restoration of those items, but over time it became so much more than that. This green paint became recognized for its ease of use, how easily it mixes and how well it builds up.

The viscosity of the paint mixture enables Real Milk Paint to spread smoothly and evenly over any surface, and it adheres well to unfinished wood, drywall and other surfaces too. Not only does it apply well to these surfaces, but it works well with porous surfaces too, meaning that no primer is needed prior to painting. This water based paint is non-toxic not only because it is water based, but because it doesn't contain any solvents or Kaolin Clay. Kaolin Clay is what you find in standard paints because it is used as filler in order to thicken the paint. The problem with this is that it emits gases which are toxic to those who are breathing them in. Without the Kaolin Clay, the Real Milk Paint is already much safer to use, and will have virtually no odor to it. What Real Milk Paint Cannot Do There are just a few things that Real Milk Paint cannot do, and that includes sticking to finished or pre-painted surfaces.

Sanding down those surfaces first is probably in your best interest so that it covers the surface you are painting properly and entirely. This green paint provides ample coverage on the right surfaces, and the only thing that is necessary to add to it is water. Any surface that you are painting on needs to be free of contamination, but there is nothing in Real Milk Paint that would cause contamination or have toxic effects. Real Milk Paint mixes well, and can sit for up to two weeks if you don't need to use it all immediately, providing you with a good shelf life and quality coverage for all of your needs.
