Low VOC Paint from Ace Hardware

Mike Kelley at the Maple Leaf Ace Hardware told me about a non toxic paint made in a plant owned by Ace Hardware. It’s called Mythic.

I was actually researching some paint solutions for an upcoming post when we had this conversation. Now would be an appropriate time to mention the low VOC qualities for interior painting. No Volatile Organic Compounds, harmful toxins, or carcinogens has been a dream for paint manufacturers for years.

Paint companies depend on contractor business and it is a fine line getting out a production paint product that is environmentally friendly. The cost of changing formulas is very high. The cost of running a single batch is extremely high, so having the Ace Hardware plant produce this product was an excellent compromise. Benjamin Moore makes a product that has a slightly higher price point, and has a claim of low VOCs rather than no VOCs.

As we get closer to the Summer painting season I will bore you with more information about paint products, but I want to mention that if you have an interior paint project this may be a solution for you. It’s a safe and premium paint product of great durability. The colors are bright and fresh. It’s safe for kids and pets with a clean fresh smell.

As always, if you have questions about a home project you can leave a comment here or e-mail me.
