Full Environmental Record
AFM Safecoat is a market segment leader with quality products to satisfy consumers' desires to limit toxic emissions and create healthy homes for their families. In many ways, AFM Safecoat is a manufacturer ahead of its time. This is the first company to develop paints specifically for chemically sensitive consumers - back in the 1980's.
Highly regarded by industry professionals for their environmentally safe qualities, AFM Safecoat is noted as a recommended product on "green" sites and personal blogs (consumer and professional) throughout the internet. AFM Safecoat Receives Scientific Certification Systems Indoor Advantage™ Gold Certification. The Gold Certification is the highest level of indoor air quality certification and demonstrates conformance with two levels of emissions standards: (1) The program tests and certifies products for compliance with USGBC LEED EQ4.1 (paints and coverings), and (2) the State of California 01350 Special Environmental Requirements and the Collaborative for High Performance Schools (CHPS) - the most stringent standard in North America. Notable customers who have chosen AFM Safecoat paints for their lack of off-gassing effects include: BMW, The Gap, Oberlin College, and Sapporo, Japan city schools.
AFM Safecoat's paints are manufactured without toxins such as aromatic solvents, heavy metals and formaldehyde preservatives found in typical paints. These ingredients lead to the toxic off-gassing that affects people (causing nausea, dizziness and headaches) and the environment. Thus, AFM Safecoat paints are the only paints approved to be labeled "doctor recommended." For over 25 years, the Company has been manufactured paints specifically geared to the chemically sensitive consumer. The paints are popular with hospitals, schools and doctor's offices.
