Environmental Statement Duturo

Armourcoat Limited has a policy of making all products as environmentally friendly as possible from the sourcing of raw ingredients through to manufacture, packaging, application and in-service life of our products.

The main raw ingredient of Duturo is marble powder. The marble powders used in our coating are not quarried specifically for the purpose but are specially retained and graded by-products from the manufacture of marble slabs and tiles. This creates positive environmental impact as by our intervention this byproduct is utilized rather than put into landfill.

Unlike comparative products on the market Duturo is silica free. According to the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) silica dust displays significant evidence of carcinogenicity in humans and it was a goal of Armourcoat to avoid the use of fine silica in order to achieve a safer product.

Duturo is essentially a water based marble and acrylic coating. Duturo has very low VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds) content when compared with most conventional paints.

Duturo has good water vapour permeability and allows the walls to breathe, so avoiding all the problems associated with impervious coatings.

Duturo is a very durable product and when compared to standard coatings it has a considerably longer life cycle.
