Eco Paints by Auro
AURO decorating products are good for you and good for the environment. They stand out among manufacturers of natural paints and wood finishes because they have always been totally committed and uncompromising in their environmental standards. The products contain only natural raw materials except for a tiny amount of a synthetic, lead free drier, as no natural alternative exists. This drier constitutes less than 0.3% of the total volume of the product and is only used where necessary in some of the wood finishes.
It goes, almost without saying, that petrochemicals are not used in these products. AURO also ensure that natural raw materials come from environmentally managed sources and are produced using a sustainable ecological cycle. For example, much of the raw linseed oil used in the paints is organically grown close to their factory and any waste product and excess paint can be composted. AURO are happy to fully declare all their ingredients, these are in the technical data sheets for each individual products available from their website. www.auro.co.uk
AURO paints are breathable and are based on natural ingredients and plant and mineral pigments. Their wood finishes are micro-porous so they don’t flake, peel or blister and are easily maintainable. Their use of natural and plant based ingredients means that allergy sufferers and people who are chemically sensitive are more able to tolerate their products.
