The Standard in Environmentally Friendly Coatings
Horizon is a new generation of paint specifically formulated to significantly reduce polluting vapours and odours released into the air which can be harmful or irritating to the user or occupants of the areas being painted VOCs (volatile organic compounds) are invisible solvent vapours which are released into the air as the paint film is applied and dries.  VOCs contribute to  ground level ozone.

Intended Uses
Designed for "Green Construction" where specifiers require products which have less impact on the environment and which meet LEED™ standards.

Suited for schools, hospitals, nursing homes, nurseries, public buildings or where occupants may be sensitive to residual paint smell or wish to leave behind a smaller environmental “footprint”.

Horizon is Green Seal® Certified, qualifies for LEED™ credit points and has MPI approval.

What is Green Seal®?
Green Seal® is a national, independent non-profit environmental labeling and consumer education organization. Allied with Underwriters Laboratories, Inc., Green Seal® issues their seal of approval to products that meet approved standards for environment impact.

Green Seal® follows the Guiding Principles and Procedures for Type I Environmental Labeling adopted by the international Organization for Standarization (ISO 14024) and includes:

Product Life Cycle
All phases of a product's life cycle are considered, including material extraction (raw materials), manufacturing, application and ultimately recycling or disposal.

Performance
All Green Seal® standards have a performance requirement that a product work at least as well as others in its class.

What is LEED™
LEED™ stands for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design and is designed to help guide commercial building projects in green and sustainable design. Many public and private buildings are now being built to LEED™ standards. The LEED™ standard for paint (Credit 4.2) states:

"Paints and coatings must meet or exceed VOC and chemical component limits of Green Seal® requirements."

The concept is to design and construct buildings that meet the "Green Building" standard with an aim to improve occupant well-being, economic returns and environmental performance of builidings employing new and innovative standards in construction practices.

The Horizon line of interior, exterior and primer products are all Green Seal® certified and therefore quality automatically for LEED™ credit points.
