Why microplastic‑free paint matters
Choosing paint without primary microplastics is a conscious decision for both people and the environment.
- What are primary microplastics? Primary microplastics are intentionally manufactured plastic particles smaller than 5 mm. These particles can enter air, water and soil during production, application or disposal.
- Why avoid microplastics in paint? Eliminating primary microplastics helps prevent unnecessary plastic pollution while maintaining professional performance. With Ralston Zora Matt, sustainable choices do not require compromises in application or final results.
- Why Ralston? Ralston Zora Matt contains 85% bio-based raw materials and 0% primary microplastics. As a result, the paint not only protects the environment but also your reputation as a sustainable professional. Ideal for certified projects or clients who consciously choose microplastic-free and bio-based paint.
Sustainable paint that truly makes a difference
Why Ralston Zora sets the bar higher than other bio-based paints
Many so‑called bio‑based paints contain only 20–40% renewable raw materials. Ralston Zora Matt goes significantly further. Its 85% bio‑based composition, certified according to strict EU standards, sets a new benchmark for sustainable professional painting.
The renewable raw materials regenerate within a few years, reducing reliance on fossil resources while maintaining the durability, workability and performance expected by professionals.
Key sustainability benefits:
- 85% bio-based content
- 0% primary microplastics
- VOC-free : safe for painters and occupants
- Good coverage and scrub resistance class 1
