Innovative Colorant System

Innovative Colorant System

Up until now, conventional colorants used for tinting paints to their desired hues would often add VOCs to the finished product. So even paints that were formulated to be zero VOC, didn't always maintain that level when it came time for application.



New ColorCast Ecotoner® from Sherwin-Williams have just changed this dynamic. This revolutionary system won't add to the VOC content of any paint when tinted. This industry-leading technology is in all Sherwin-Williams stores which means the entire line of Sherwin-Williams water-based paints and colors are tinted with colorants.
