Asian Paints Lanka receives Green Mark Gold certification
View(s):Asian Paints Lanka has been awarded the Green Mark Gold certification by the Ceylon Institute of Builders (CIOB) in recognition of the eco-friendly characteristics of ‘Apex Ultima Protek’, the company’s exterior emulsion paint.
The company said in a media release that the certification, in the ‘Green Building Products’ category, is attributable to the product’s conformation to international Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) criteria and the usage of only sustainable and eco-friendly raw materials in its manufacture. Exposure to increased levels of VOC is associated with respiratory problems and other health complications. ‘Apex Ultima Protek’ contains no hazardous heavy metals such as lead, mercury, arsenic, chromium or cadmium, and is also free of toxic materials that are carcinogenic or cause mutagenesis and reproductive toxicity.
The release said that besides being safe and environmentally responsible, ‘Apex Ultima Protek’ also comes with the assurance of a 10-year durability warranty, thereby eliminating the need to re-paint at frequent intervals.
