Painting Natural Protective - High-Tech Eco-Friendly finishes

The World Health Organization reports that 20% of the population in the West suffers from physical conditions caused by spending long periods of time in buildings that are not people-friendly and/or are polluted by chemical substances. Living in a healthy environment is therefore a priority to protect health. Hygiene and cleanliness are now keywords when choosing finishes. In addition, as a fundamental factor in the building industry, sustainability is increasingly driving the market towards high value added GREEN products that feature innovation, performance and environmental friendliness. From architectural structures to finishings, and from air conditioning to home and office automation, all aspects must contribute to energy saving, better quality of life and a more caring approach to living spaces. There is growing awareness that paint products must contribute to residential “WELLBEING”

In light of this growing awareness around building sustainability, Boero has developed the PAINTING NATURAL range of hi-tech products with minimum environmental impact, based on a few simple key points

Continuous improvement of production process efficiency
Scrupulous respect for the environment at every stage, from factory to point of sale
Choice of high performance, latest generation raw materials of known and preferably local or national provenance
Development of innovative paints in water emulsion with low environmental impact and minimum release of volatile organic compounds
Durability for decorative treatments
Research into how colour influences living comfort.

PAINTING NATURAL today broadens its offering creating PAINTING NATURAL PROTECTIVE, a brand new range of sanitising, bacteriostatic and purifying finishes that are resistant to wear and cleaning with common detergents, created to offer maximum protection for domestic, professional, public and healthcare spaces.

THE RANGE

Every domestic, professional, commercial and healthcare area has specific structural characteristics and purposes. The PAINTING NATURAL line offers targeted solutions to protect and decorate each of them.

Painting Natural Protective:

BACTERIOSTATIC SANITISING PRODUCTS
- SANYA SMALTO MURALE: Matt/satin bacteriostatic sanitising wall enamel
- SANYA PITTURA: Bacteriostatic santising washable paint

WHY FINISHES THAT FIGHT GERMS AND BACTERIA?

Buildings may contain high concentrations of microorganisms that are harmful to health. Homes are increasingly well-insulated and air circulation is limited, which may cause dampness and trigger biological infestations of mould, germs and bacteria. As well as water, microorganisms need nourishment and the list of potential sources is long: nitrogen, carbon, phosphorus, etc. Microorganisms come into contact with masonry surfaces carried by dust, atmospheric dirt or airborne particulate matter, sprays, finger and grease marks, and splashes of liquids or contaminated water. Needless to say, they can cause diseases.

The solution to this problem are the properties of silver ions that have been known since ancient times and for centuries they have been used successfully to prevent and treat infections. They are used in many different fields. Including paint for buildings.

BACTERIOSTATIC ACTION

Silver ions (Ag+) penetrate the nucleus of bacterial cells deposited on treated surfaces. They have oligodynamic

properties, which means they are effective even in minimum quantities. They bind to DNA, RNA, proteins and cellular respiration enzymes, blocking the survival systems of infesting bacteria and preventing their growth, division and multiplication. This eliminates bacteria definitively because they are unable to reproduce and proliferate (bacteriostatic action).

Research has driven interesting developments in the use of silver ions, which have a well-known ability to enhance the sanitising characteristics of paint products when there is the need to ensure maximum hygiene effectively but sustainably.
