About Us
Sustainability and Our Environment
Haymes Paint is committed to protecting the environment for future generations. We act sustainably and look for innovative ways to lessen our impact on the environment. We actively look for ways in which we can reduce water usage, waste, and utilise renewable energy.
Products
Haymes Paint Ultra Premium Expressions ceiling and wall paints are of the highest quality, with very low VOC levels that comply with the Australian Paint Approval Scheme (APAS) and Green Building Council (GBC) regulations.
In addition, all Haymes Paint colourants in our colour range contain less than 1% VOC.
What are VOCs?
Commonly known as Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC), all paints contain petroleum-based solvents which evaporate into the air from the paint film whilst the paint is drying.
Why do paints include VOCs?
Even in water-based paints, these ingredients are included to achieve good coverage, improve brushability, aid working time, film hardness and help with ease of application.
