Non-toxic zero VOC primer for new sheetrock

ECOS interior primer is non-toxic and zero VOC that's safe for everyone. It's a unique and sustainable architectural coating made specifically for new drywall/sheetrock walls or ceilings as well as bare hard plaster. It's made without solvents or hazardous chemicals, and it contains no biocides or fungicides. For wood or painted surfaces use Ecos Universal Primer.

Like all premium quality drywall primer, Ecos Interior Wall Primer is thick and rich, and it hides very well. It is so thick that it requires additional mixing before application. It applies with brush, roller or spray, leaving a beautiful smooth, even finish. One thing that makes Ecos unique is its coverage; one gallon covers 260-430 SF per coat.

Aside from coverage, Ecos colors are unequalled in brilliance because they use rich pigments from Europe, and there's no black in any formulation. Ecos also makes a variety of specialty paints for flooring, ceilings, trim and furniture, radiators, EMR (electromagnetic radiation) shielding and air purification.

ECOS has industry-leading test performance and accreditations:

• The first North American paint manufacturer to complete the Health Product Declaration (HPD) — an open-standard format for accurate, reliable and transparent reporting of product contents for LEED v4 that requires third-party certification;
• The only paint manufacturer with Declare Labels showing LBC Red List Free (a transparent ingredients labeling tool developed by the Living Building Challenge for manufacturers to fully disclose all intentionally added ingredients; Red List is a collection of worst-in-class building materials);
• The only professional-grade paint and primer certified to ASTM D-4236 (non-toxic);
• The only paint company with membership in the Juvenile Products Manufacturer’s Association (JPMA);
• The only paint company approved by the national non-profit Healthy Child Healthy World.
