The marked shift by no means excludes the very coatings we apply to the walls, roofs and surfaces of our homes, businesses, factories, machinery and modes of transport, and covers anything from the way these paints are manufactured to the substances they contain. With its leaps and bounds in green technology, Plascon is leading the charge with a phalanx of eco-wise coatings. The first of these innovations is the brand’s introduction of APEO free formulations. APEO compounds are bio-accumulative compounds which, when released into the environment, can be toxic to human and wildlife, especially marine life. Conventional roof paints contain APEOs that, over time, leach into waterways through rain and drainage, and eventually contaminate the soil, water tables, rivers and ultimately, our oceans.

		<description><![CDATA[In this time of social, informational and emotional overload, the world sees a rise in the search for wellness and other self-preservation tactics. We are burnt out from the pressure, fear, anxiety and constant sense of uncertainty. People yearn for community, connection and peace. Colour has the ability to fulfill some of these longings. Spring is here and Plascon guides you in the search for renewal and solace. The Plascon Colour Advice team’s newest palette, Gentle Serenity, is a modern and fresh interpretation of chalky pastels with gender-neutral appeal.  Gentle Serenity showcases moods and moments which embrace imperfection in order to generate happiness, wellness and contentment. Mermaid Jewel, Oak Forest, Stormy Day   The cooler tones in the Gentle Serenity palette bring peace and the tranquillity of an oasis to your space. “We have selected fresher tones of blues and greens to modernise the pastel palette concept.
