Ivy Coatings

One brand I was happy to see was Ivy Coatings, a made in Brooklyn fast curing zero VOC (Volatile Organic Compound) paint company. Their parent company is IBPNA (International Building Products North America). IBPNA is a manufacturer & distributor of environmentally responsible building supplies (including plywood, molding and zero VOC paint). The paint has almost no odor when applying and none when dry. Whites are tintable with zero VOC colorants. Purchasing them locally (if you live locally of course) is keeping fuel costs and emissions down. Plus you get a beautifully painted home!
