WATER BASED PAINTS & COATINGS
Elektra Coatings Ltd caters for both household and industry.
Our domestic and commercial customers utilise water-based paints, benefitting from the low odour and reduced health & safety risks.
When working in confined or poorly ventilated spaces, the evaporation of solvents can cause discomfort or create health problems for workers. Water-based paints help resolve this problem by reducing the concentration of flammable materials that build up in a confined space, making them a safer alternative.
Water-based coatings can also improve environmental compliance. Since these coatings use considerably less solvent – or often no solvent at all – they help to lower a business’s VOC output.
