ThermaCell Technologies has filed for a patent covering a new kind of environmentally friendly paint that uses inorganic glass to replace organic resins, creating a longer lasting finish for the same price as regular paint. Because it does not contain any volatile organic compounds, the glass paint meets the new, highly restrictive regulations regarding the elimination of environmentally harmful paint ingreadients in states like California. Inorganid hybrid silicate is resistant to weathering, ultra violet rays, acid rain, fading, solvents, water, and mildew. It does not chalk, has no odour, does not create harmful vapour barriers; contains no solvents, organic binders, biocides, or mildewcides. (whole item)
