Back To Top - Green Paints - Kelly-Moore has offered several lines of paint that are environmentally responsible, as this market demand continues to grow in this
segment and appears to be here-to-stay. Our Enviro Coat and Green Coat lines are now high-performing Zero-VOC paints, and the eCoat Recycled Paints are a very high-quality recycled product alternative.
With these products and more, Kelly-Moore put our “Earth First”, without sacrificing performance demanded by the professional user.
Many manufacturers have attempted zero-VOC formulation technologies, but we felt the field performance of these paints were lacking, until some break-thru formulations introduced recently at K-M. We have been instrumental in the development of Zero-VOC colorants as well, to be operational in 2010.
eCoat Recycled Paints is re-manufactured in our Sacramento facility and offers 16 ready-mixed colors in three sheens for interior or exterior application – recycled paints re-made by paint people, at Kelly-Moore
