2 MIN READ

Blending exceptional performance with eco-responsible innovation, Benjamin Moore has launched the next generation of Eco Spec. For both consumers and professionals, the line meets the strictest VOC regulations and has zero VOCs and emissions—even after tinting.

“Eco Spec is thoughtfully crafted for sensitive environments including patient rooms, offices, guest rooms and schools, as well as residential spaces,” says Alfredo Valiente, product manager, commercial and professional brands, at Benjamin Moore. “Its formula makes it ideal for those who demand good indoor air quality, especially individuals with asthma or allergies and those looking for a responsible solution that supports well-being without sacrificing on quality and durability.”

The paint’s low odor completely dissipates within an hour after application, so that rooms painted with Eco Spec can be reoccupied sooner. With superior chemical resistance, Eco Spec can withstand repeat washing from common disinfectants and cleaning agents; and is formulated with antimicrobial additives.

It has been tested by multiple independent green certifying organizations including The Asthma & Allergy Friendly Certification Program, Green Seal, LEED Indoor Air Quality Standards, and Master Painters Institute (MPI) Green Performance.

“Our long-standing partnership with Benjamin Moore reflects a shared commitment to improved indoor environments. Through our independent testing, Eco Spec has met the strict criteria for chemical emissions and VOCs, which is important for individuals with asthma and allergies,” adds Dr. John McKeon, CEO at Allergy Standards Ltd. “This certification gives consumers and professionals confidence that Eco Spec supports good indoor air quality.”

Available in three sheens as well as a primer to create a full system with zero VOCs, Eco Spec can be tinted in 3,500-plus Benjamin Moore colors.
