"Accelerating the Development of Eco-Friendly Technologies"

On August 7, Samhwa Paint Industry announced that it has developed a paint container with biodegradable properties and applied it to its premium water-based paint.


This biodegradable paint container is the result of joint research and development carried out after signing a business agreement with SK Livio and the container manufacturing specialist company P&B in January of last year. It is made by combining PBAT (polybutylene adipate terephthalate), a biodegradable material, with natural limestone. PBAT decomposes by more than 90% within six months under composting conditions, returning to nature.

The biodegradable paint container was first applied to the premium water-based paint 'Airlux 10L.' The Airlux series is designed with the concept of being safe for spaces with children and is an eco-friendly paint that has obtained the Korea Eco-Label, a leading environmental certification in Korea.



A Samhwa Paint representative said, "We are accelerating the development of eco-friendly technologies to realize environmental protection and eco-friendly values," adding, "We plan to gradually expand the application of biodegradable paint containers to provide consumers with a wider range of choices."
