About Auro

Paints, lacquers and varnishes are among the chemical everyday products that have a particularly distinct effect on environment and health. Solvents, monomers, softening agents, and biocides are only some of the components of these products that present the potential for serious ecological and toxicological risks during their production, manufacture, application, use, and ultimate disposal.

Until now, eco paints were, to some extent, bound up with obvious compromises. Conventional water paints, for example, are not only based on binding agents from petrochemistry (acrylates), they also still contain considerable amounts of glycols that are injurious to health and environment. In spite of a scrupulous choice of consistently ecological raw materials , even ecological paints still contained relatively high amounts of solvents and, moreover, had inherent disadvantages relating to the painting practise (short renovation cycles, etc.) that did not fully correspond to the aims of sustainability.

Under the sponsorship of the German Federal Evironmental Foundation (DBU), AURO AG embarked on an ambitious research and development project with the goal of eliminating the disadvantages entirely. A new generation of natural paint products was developed that was optimized for its toxicological, ecological and technological performance.

These new paints, stains and sealers do not emit any solvent vapors into the air and, relating to their technical performance, show a quality so far unknown in the field of ecological paints. Since this was achieved without making any ecological compromises (the binding agents are made exclusively from regenerative raw materials), the new AURO paints constitute a milestone in the development of paint products. On account of this innovation, AURO is the first paint producer having an assortment of paint products coming very close to the aim of a sustainable development directed towards a more ecological future.

Objective testing has confirmed these achievements, with certification issued on compliance with EURO Norm (EN) 927, and there is also an unrestricted recommendation of these products from Germany.s best reputed eco magazine, Öko-Test.
