[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Jong-hwa] Samhwa Paint Industrial announced on the 26th that it has completed a patent application for eco-friendly bio-based paint and officially launched two types of eco-friendly interior paints, 'Jayeongachi Water-based Interior,' utilizing this technology.

The newly released 'Jayeongachi Water-based Interior Eggshell' and 'Jayeongachi Water-based Interior Matte' by Samhwa Paint are developed using natural raw materials extracted from plants such as corn, cassava, and sugar beet, and are eco-friendly paints applied with Samhwa Paint's new bio-technology.

Existing bio paints are made by replacing some organic solvents with renewable bio-based raw materials. However, the two types of water-based paints 'Jayeongachi Water-based Interior' made with Samhwa Paint's new technology use advanced technology that replaces petroleum-based monomers with natural monomers for synthesis.

These products include antibacterial and antifungal functions, have low VOC (volatile organic compound) content resulting in less odor, and are designed for easy application even by beginners. In particular, they can produce various colors beyond white, allowing for diverse color expression in spaces where eco-friendliness is essential, such as children's facilities, senior centers, and hospitals.

A Samhwa Paint official said, "These products are the result of continuous research and development investment by Samhwa Paint to create safe living spaces," adding, "As consumer interest in eco-friendliness rapidly increases, sales of these bio products are also expected to surge."

Meanwhile, these products obtained the USDA Certified Biobased Product certification from the U.S. Department of Agriculture in April, the Environmental Label certification from the Korea Environmental Industry & Technology Institute under the Ministry of Environment in May, and the eco-friendly building material HB Mark certification from the Korea Air Cleaning Association in October. Additionally, the globally reputable U.S. UL ECV (Environmental Claims Validations) certification is currently underway.
