*100% pure acrylic produces a superior quality paint. Even though it requires large amounts of energy to create pure acrylic, Eico paints are produced in a factory where the energy comes from 100% free geothermal and hydro-power energy. This means that not only can they control costs, but also the manufacturing process is carbon neutral.
