Low-Emission Wall Paints (DE-UZ 102)

Wall paints are used over large areas in interior spaces. That is why it is important that the products have low emissions and are also not detrimental to health in other ways.

Ingredients in wall paints can increase the concentration of pollutants in the indoor air imperceptibly. It is therefore advisable to obtain accurate information before purchasing and applying paints.

If you would like to keep pollutants as low as possible when using wall paint and brushes, you should use products with the Blue Angel label when renovating your own four walls. Wall paints labelled with the Blue Angel ecolabel have been tested beyond the legal requirements for their ingredients and therefore for their environmental and health compatibility.
