White Knight speciality paints produces low tox aerosol paint - the planet friendly aerosol paint

The first truly responsible, planet-friendly aerosol paint has hit the hardware shelves in Australia.

Four years of intense research by Australia-based White Knight Paints has resulted in a spray paint that can't be used for 'chroming' (the deliberate inhalation of the solvents to achieve a 'high'); is lead-free; contributes no CFCs to the ozone layer; is shunned by graffiti daubers; and its cans are fully recyclable.

The entire range of Squirts gloss enamels, Rust Guard metal protection finishes and most other White Knight speciality paints is now available in this unique format. Statistics show the dangerous habit of 'chroming' is increasing each year amongst young, disaffected Australians prompting White Knight Paints to develop this far safer formula for its paints that can't give any sort of 'high' through inhalation, unlike other aerosol paints. Secondly, the new aerosol cans actually help overcome the problem of graffiti.

These new cans carry an innovative nozzle that delivers a fine mist of paint in a broad arc which, when applied in several sweeps, gives a finish previously acquired only by professionals. The one thing it doesn't do is deliver paint in one thick, paint-saturated hit - the type the graffiti vandals love. Lead and CFCs have also been removed from White Knight's new aerosol paints while the cans themselves are now fully recyclable.

At present there are more than 320 councils around Australia that accept the cans, with more coming on board all the time.To ensure these new, low-tox aerosol cans are easily identifiable each can will carry a distinctive 'Safe to Spray' sticker or logo. Legislation has been introduced in Australia that requires retailers to keep all spray cans under lock and key, in an attempt to reduce the amount of graffiti vandalism that is costing State governments millions of dollars each year.

White Knight Paints will continue its endeavours to produce high quality paints that deliver professional results for the consumer while making the vandalism of public and private property increasingly difficult. All locally made White Knight Paints speciality spray cans with their new low-tox formulae are available nationally from paint specialists and hardware outlets.

White Knight Paints is the first paint company to produce aerosol paints that are community and environmentally friendly. All locally produced aerosol paint cans are now 'Safe to Spray'. Safe to Spray is a program that has been launched which includes 3 keys messages: 1) Non Chroming Formula - Toluene free, discourages chroming 2) CFC Free - Won't harm the Ozone Layer, and 3) Lead & Heavy Metal Free - Safe to use on children's toys and furniture.
