INTERIOR DESIGN

Ultra safe, ultra modern, ultra professional!

16 lipca 2013 ·reading time: 4 min

This has never happened on the construction market before. The new line of paints for Benjamin Moore professionals - ULTRA SPEC ® 500 raises the bar in the implementation of large investments. Ecological and economical, durable and safe, efficient and accurate.

While other manufacturers are just working on introducing the first "OVOC" paint, i.e. free from harmful volatile organic compounds, from 2014 all Benjamin Moore products will be completely free of them. This is the culmination of the company's pro-ecological strategy initiated in 2006. The new line of interior painting products - ULTRA SPEC ® 500 Benjamin Moore is
confirmation of the company's consistently implemented policy aimed at offering customers products that are completely safe for them and the environment, which only a select few will be able to afford.

The ecological recipe is to be standard in all Benjamin Moore products. This is what characterizes the new line of ULTRA SPEC ® 500 interior paints. It is a combination of a recipe free from harmful VOCs, both in the base version and after tinting, the highest quality supported by modern technology and an attractive price.

Products from the ULTRA SPEC ® 500 line – ecology in the foreground

It is often the case that paint manufacturers, in order to create a product with excellent technical parameters, use chemical compounds that are not necessarily friendly to the environment or the users of the interiors painted with them. The selection of the best quality components is reflected in the price. Something at the expense of something. But does it have to be this way? Not if sustainable development and acting in harmony with nature are elements of the company's permanent policy and strategy.
At the beginning of 2006, Benjamin Moore took steps to eliminate harmful organic compounds - VOCs - from the formulas of the brand's products. It has introduced an ecological coloring system - GENNEX ® Platform with "zero VOC" colorants, which can only be used to color water-based paints. In 2009, the first line of completely VOC-free products - Natura ® - appeared on the market, both in its base form and after coloring (from white to black). Another confirmation of Benjamin Moore's pro-ecological business philosophy is the creation of an ecological line of products intended for large investments - ULTRA SPEC ® 500.

Perfect for professionals

Serious investments carried out by contractors selected through tender are characterized by strict deadlines and a very tight budget. And if the facility is to have a special purpose, such as a hospital, clinic or nursery, then you cannot afford to use poor-quality materials. In this case, the chemical composition of paints is very important. But so is the price. The best solution in this case will be paints from the Ultra Spec ® 500 line.

Firstly, thanks to their ecological recipe - "O VOC" are completely safe for users of interiors painted with them. They reduce the risk of allergic reactions to a minimum.

Moreover, they do not emit the unpleasant smell that accompanies painting with traditional VOC paints, which persists for a long time (up to several weeks) after the paint dries on the wall. Using paints from the new Benjamin Moore line, the object can be used in a very short period of time after painting.

ULTRA SPEC ® 500 products meet the requirements of LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design). It is a system for assessing buildings in terms of solutions that help protect the natural environment and reduce energy consumption.

A comprehensive solution

The ecological recipe of ULTRA SPEC ® 500 paints is not their only advantage. In products dedicated to professionals, Benjamin Moore also used the innovative, patented "Cross-Linking Resin Technology", thanks to which the paints are characterized by increased durability, higher resistance to washing with water and enhanced covering power. All this is due to the paint coating "woven" from polymer chains, which are reinforced with special chemical bonds, the so-called "bridges". In this way, the painting layer gained additional resistance. The appropriate combination of special fillers used in the recipe determines another important property - when the paint is applied, it does not splash on the surface.

ULTRA SPEC ® 500 products can also be successfully used to paint a house or apartment. The paints are available in two gloss levels (full matt Ultra Spec ® 500 Interior Flat Finish N536 and semi-matt Ultra Spec ® 500 Interior Eggshell Finish N538) in a wide range of pastel colors.
