Promoting healthy living
Whether at work, at home, or during leisure time, over 80% of our day is spent indoors. That’s why indoor air quality is essential for our well-being and health.
From the very beginning, we have continuously improved our products with a focus on healthy living environments. We have set industry standards—for example, in 1985, when we developed Caparol Indeko-plus E.L.F., the first low-emission and solvent-free interior paint. In 2001, Caparol Sensitiv followed as the first preservative-free interior paint. Today, the proportion of solvent-free, low-emission, and preservative-free interior paints in the DAW Group is about 50%.
Healthy living environments and the continuous reduction of hazardous substances will continue to drive our product development:
- Interior paints and fillers: We are continuously expanding our preservative-free product line.
- Lacquers and glazes: Our product family is increasingly complemented by water-based lacquers and glazes.
- Floor coatings: We focus on marketing low-emission products and are further reducing CMR¹ ingredients.
Enabling healthy working
Healthy indoor products with reduced VOC emissions and no solvents also protect the health of applicators. For professional applicators, health is not only about the products they use but also about how they are used. We keep health in mind during product application:
