PPG, DSM launches new bio-based air purifying paint




PPG Industries has launched a new bio-based wall paint based on Royal DSM’s revolutionary Decovery bio-based technology.
Sigma Air Pure is a bio-based wall paint with air purification effects, enhances the indoor air climate of homes, offices and schools by removing up to 70 percent of the harmful formaldehyde (CH2O) from the indoor air. The main sources of CH2O emissions are chipboard, fiberboard, furniture, carpeting, glue and interior fabrics. The paint filters the formaldehyde molecules out of the indoor air and neutralizes them.
Tailormade partnership
The resin is one of the key components that determine the characteristics of a paint. By using the Decovery resin technology platform DSM and PPG developed a resin which met the specific needs that PPG had intended for Sigma Air Pure.
With the Decovery bio-based resin technology, DSM enables paint manufacturers to develop high-performance sustainable paints. By using a variety of renewable ingredients, DSM can tailor each solution to the specific customer and market needs. With Sigma Air Pure paint, the professional and consumer market embraces renewable bio-based resins for indoor paints.
