About our Manufacturer Ellen Kennon Full Spectrum Paints are manufactured by ICI Paints. ICI Paints, a division of ICI in London (Imperial Chemical Industries), is one of the world's largest paint manufacturers. Over the past several years, ICI bought out name brands such as Glidden, Devoe, and Fuller O'Brien. Ellen Kennon Full Spectrum Paints are formulated using ICI's highest quality "Dulux" brand product line. All Dulux latex paints are low VOC and their Lifemaster product is VOC-free (perfect for people with allergies) and is a certified "green" product by the U.S. Green Building Council. "VOC" is short for "volatile organic compounds" that are harmful to our health and our environment. When exposed to sunlight, VOCs produce ground level ozone, a major contributor to air pollution, indoors and out--harmful to both human health and agricultural crops. The International Furnishings and Design Association, an organization of executives representing all aspects of the furnishings and design industry, chose ICI Paints to receive its "Enlightened Product" Award "for outstanding leadership in the movement to protect the environment while helping to beautify it." ICI Paints has over 470 stores nationwide that can formulate Ellen's colors, once an order is placed through her office. Then, all the customer has to do is pick up the paint at their local ICI Paint Store. While samples can be ordered online, Ellen recommends that you order the paint by phone to receive personal help from her knowledgeable staff and to ensure you are getting the best product for each project. |
