It is 100% acrylic eggshell paint that can decrease external wall temperature, and also reduces the usage of air conditioning and saves electricity bills.
The company gives top priority to ecological impact. An eco-friendly technique was developed by the company during 1995 to remove the excess paint. Kelly-Moore was the first in the paint industry to collect and re-produce eCoat, a quality recycled paint. Thereafter, the company is investing continuously in recycling technology.
Kelly-Moore’s eco-friendly facility located in California has won four environmental awards. A program was commenced during 2009 in order to recycle cut up plastic totes, super sack storage bags, and other non-recyclable containers, later the landfill waste was reduced for up to 10-15%.
