    EcoTain

    Paints & Coatings that inspire confidence

    We spend around 90 percent of our lives indoors. As our health is affected by the indoor environment, it is important that the offices and buildings we work in and the homes we live in are as safe and friendly as possible. Clariant makes an important contribution to this goal by setting high standards for its additives that not only meet but also exceed those set by regulatory authorities and many ecolabel certifiers.

    Paint additives that carry the EcoTain® label fulfill a promise to be safer and healthier. This starts with the process used to manufacture our products that is optimized for efficiency and uses components that contain no harmful chemicals. And we make use of renewable resources wherever possible.
