I recently heard about Gesundfarbe by Rhenocoll from one of the painters who gave us a quote. Does anyone know about it? I’m quite health-conscious, especially with small children in the house, so I think it could be beneficial in terms of pollutants and such. Thank you very much.

I don’t understand how this paint could be considered healthy. Biocides shouldn’t be in a standard paint anyway. That’s just green labeling.

Nevertheless, this paint has a VOC content of 27g/l (27g/l); the EU limit is 30g/l (30g/l).

In comparison, Caparol Indeko Plus has less than 1g/l (1g/l).

However, "regular" paint does contain them to ensure storage stability.

To clarify: There should be no biocides in coatings related to mold prevention and similar purposes.

Caparol indeko plus or Sto sil or Sto sil premium, for example, do not contain biocides for this purpose.

What would definitely bother me about this health-friendly paint from rhenocoll is the "high" VOC content: 27g (0.95 oz), even though the paint itself is marketed as biocide-free.

I would have also preferred the Sto Color Sil (as Winnetou said) rather than this health paint with the mysterious mineral blend.
