We've all felt it! You walk into a newly furnished room and your eyes start to sting and tear, or the smell is so overpowering that you feel you are choking. You would think escaping from outdoor pollution to our cozy well insulated homes and offices, would be the solution from all the smells and danger! Apparently not according to numeral studies that have shown indoor air is 10 times more polluted than outdoor air!
A significant contributor to indoor air pollution is formaldehyde, a known carcinogen found in almost every building and household products, such as carpets, paints, furniture, textiles, pressed-wood furniture, drapery, glues, insulation materials, paper products and more. As these everyday objects release formaldehyde and other airborne chemicals in the air we breathe, the effects after even short-term exposure are headaches and migraines, teary eyes, sneezing, coughing, and difficulty in breathing.
Since people spend more than 80% of their time in closed environments, concerns about formaldehyde buildup in schools, hospitals, homes, etc. has been raised, but on another note, solutions have been found, tested and implemented.
As part of their thrive in product sustainability, efficiency and most importantly, safety, COLORTEK, the international paints brand, introduces RESPISAFE, its highly innovative product to eliminate the existence of Formaldehyde in indoor places and especially for schools, hospitals and other critical indoor sites.
RESPISAFE fights the dangerous chemical in the air through an anti-formaldehyde technology that reacts with it into a harmless vapor. As such, RESPISAFE, effectively cleans the indoor air similar to a tree's impact on our planet.
Additional features for RESPISAFE that go beyond its safety technology, is the combination of formaldehyde abetment with high performance technologies such as burnish resistance, crack-bridging, stain-resistance and anti-bacterial properties in order to produce a revolutionary 5 in 1 coating that showcases the latest innovation in paint for a maximum safety in indoor areas without compromising the color identity.
Tested in accordance with the most rigorous worldwide standards, RESPISAFE has proved the quick response of its efficiency since 80% of formaldehyde abatement happens in the first 24 hours after its implementation and the remaining 20% is extremely reduced later on.
