Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are emitted as gases from certain solids or liquids. VOC's emitted as gases include a variety of chemicals, some of which may have short-term and long-term adverse health effects. Examples of products with VOC's include: paints and lacquers, paint strippers, cleaning supplies, pesticides, building materials and furnishings, office equipment such as copiers and printers, correction fluids and carbonless copy paper, graphics and craft materials, including glues and adhesives, permanent markers, and photographic solutions. What can you do to improve your indoor air quality? Limit your exposure to VOC's by making healthy and smart choices for your home, business, and family. Do research, read labels, and ask questions of the manufacturer.

With a slight change in technique, LOMA produces sophisticated depth in a smooth surface that has subtle texture, or a highly tactile wall finish that has depth and character. LOMA is the easiest to apply either with a trowel or spray-on application.

		PORCELINA provides the smoothest finish of the plasters and provides the artisan with an opportunity to create traditional Old World smooth surfaces. Like Venetian lime plasters, PORCELINA can create a polished sheen without the laborious and hazardous sanding required of acrylic/lime and gypsum finishes. To add more depth, a hard troweled and burnished surface can be achieved and further refined by modeling, blending colors, or waxing. PORCELINA can be hand-troweled or sprayed on.

		MARITTIMO, the strongest of the three plasters, uses crushed seashell aggregate to give it added strength. In addition, the shell provides a speckle and depth that is reminiscent of the ancient shell terrazzo floors of Italy and Egypt. MARITTIMO can be hand-troweled or sprayed on.
