Amoriguard
Amoriguard is a certified and award-winning water-based paint whose fillers are based on recycled industrial waste. [1] [2] These fillers replace mineral constituents in traditional paint that are commonly mined with detrimental effects on the environment. In order to maximize the use of recycled materials, the paint has an effective mass of solids of 70℅ that occupy a volume of at least 55℅ excluding water. It was invented by Prof Mulalo Doyoyo and co-developed by Mr Ryan Purchase.
The amount of all harmful and polluting substances such as volatile organic compounds, ammonia, formaldehyde, lead, alkyl phenol ethoxylate and glycol in the paint are low or absent. It is manufactured below critical pigment volume concentration (CPVC) which means that most voids between pigment particles in the dried film are filled with solid particles as opposed to air in those products above CPVC. The paint is hydrophobic and chemical-resistant.
