CAP PLC UNVEILS ENVIRONMENT-FRIENDLY PAINT RANGE OF DULUX TRADE ECOSURE As part of continuous efforts to produce environment-friendly paints without compromising on quality and standards, Chemical and Allied Products (CAP) Plc has unveiled a revolutionary new water-based paint range of Dulux Trade Ecosure. Speaking at the unveiling event in Lagos, Managing Director, CAP Plc, Mrs. Omolara Elemide, said a good way of minimizing the emission of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere is to encourage production and patronage of eco-friendly products that do not harm the environment. She said: “Living in a polluted atmosphere brings with it a negative impact on the health of human beings. Consequently, it is highly recommended for people to do their bit in minimizing the emission of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. A good way of doing this is to encourage the production and patronage of eco-friendly products – products that do not harm the environment, whether in their production, use or disposal. “To meet this challenge, Dulux launched a project in 2007, which eventually led to the emergence of Dulux Trade Ecosure. It is a fact that conventional Dulux Trade Paints have long enjoyed a reputation for quality and performance. However, when it became evident that ‘going green’ has become the panacea to global warming and its disastrous impacts, Dulux was confronted with the task of strengthening the sustainability profile of its products without sacrificing quality.” Mrs. Elemide, noted that the introduction of Dulux Trade Ecosure has once again demonstrated our genuine commitment to ensuring a safer environment for all. Ecosure, a water based paint in all the available finishes, including gloss, has very low volatile organic compounds with less emission of green house gasses throughout the production cycle. The product combines sustainability and performance; reduced environmental impact with no compromise on performance. Dulux Trade Ecosure Paint is presently in four finishes: Matt, Eggshell, Gloss and Undercoat, The Executive Director, Corporate Services, UACN Plc, Mr.Joe Dada, representing the Group Managing Director, UACN Plc, Mr. Larry Ettah, said CAP Plc is making the world a better place with the revolutionary water -based paint range of Dulux Ecosure. He encouraged people who talk about having a good environment to join hands to save and protect our planet by being aware of safety, health and environment issues.
