What you see is what you’ll get

2-Methyl-2H-isothiazolin-3-one1, 2-Benzisothiazoline-3-one, does that sound like ingredients you’d like to find in your morning cereals?

– I don’t think so. Most of us are quite aware of and rather picky about what we eat. Strange ingredients added which we can’t identify and can’t understand the purpose of them being there normally makes the alarm bell to ring.

In today’s world of sustainable design, this way of thinking is more or less transformed also to the design and construction segments. List and identify all hazardous substances with the strategy to eliminate or minimize as much as possible by selecting the “greenest” products, every time there is an option.

Acoustical plaster is normally nothing you’d think of eating, even if that stunt has been pulled off to illustrate the fact that Fellert plaster doesn’t contain any strange hazardous substances at all.

The ingredients are cotton and natural minerals. The carrying agent is pure fresh water, that vapors from the plaster surface when exposed to normal room conditions.

This might for sure not be the quickest way for “paint to dry”. There are probably dozens of agents that can be added to the plaster to speed up the drying, but with the quicker drying, you will automatically also get a nice collection of CAS numbers along with impressive combinations of numbers and latin names of substances.

Therefore we are proud to say that we have no intentions to add anything that will make our plaster hazardous just because we want to gain some time on drying. It is not just worth it.
