Chalkboard paint


Found an interesting paint which can create a chalkboard anywhere on the wall.
It is also air pollution-free so doesn't have chemical impact on its use.

"ECOS organic paints offer a completely unique range of decorative finishes. It's the only range of totally solvent-free paints available anywhere in the world today, independently tested to reveal 0.0% VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds).

VOCs are a major contributor to low-level atmospheric pollution and the use of these compounds leads to global warming. In addition, the use of solvent-based paints is a major cause of, asthma, allergies, sick building syndrome, chemical sensitivities and the general flu-like symptoms reported by many people using conventional paints, including Matt and Silk wall paints.
Most paints currently on sale, both gloss and emulsion, contain solvents and VOCs. ECOS paints contain none.
As a result they are ideal for use throughout the home, particularly children's bedrooms, nurseries and kitchens, especially if you or a member of your family is chemically sensitive or suffers from asthma or allergies. " (http://www.ecosorganicpaints.co.uk/store/blackboard-paint-uk/prod_233.html)

If this paint becomes a standard of creating chalkboards, it will reduce use of slate stone which is a main material for producing a chalkboard and also the use energy and water during the process.
