Filipino Firm Secures Lead Safe Paint Certification

10:07:00 PM


A Filipino-owned paint company has achieved Lead Safe Paint (LSP) status for its range of paints, covering architectural, marine, automotive, traffic, textile, and industrial applications. This significant milestone comes after a thorough third-party certification process, confirming that the paints contain less than 90 parts per million (ppm) of lead. This limit is considered the strictest worldwide for lead content in paints.

The company's commitment to safety and quality shines through this achievement, as it underscores their dedication to providing products that meet international standards. With lead being a well-known hazardous substance, this certification ensures that consumers can trust in the safety of the paints for various uses, from architectural projects to marine applications.

In a statement, the company expressed its pride in attaining the Lead Safe Paint certification, emphasizing the importance of responsible manufacturing practices. By adhering to the stringent regulatory limit for lead content, they aim to contribute to environmental protection and public health. This recognition also highlights the company's role in promoting safer alternatives in the paint industry.

As the company continues to innovate and uphold its commitment to excellence, it sets a positive example for the industry and demonstrates the value of sustainable and safe paint solutions.

Celebrate and Paint The Nippon Paint Party Way!

10:43:00 PM

Part of me paints and I really love to do things that matter about colors. So, I think it's about time to go back to my love painting. Of course, is quite a bit different as this is mixed with everything else. As they say, it's time to celebrate! Let us celebrate on November 9th at Tenement Home Taguig's Famous court. Hoops, Painting, and a Free Concert starring some of Pinoy Hip-hop's biggest acts (Shanti Dope, Pricetagg, Mike Kosa, Pino G, Loki, Acid Minds, Alex Bruce, and many more.)

This is what Mike Swift's (Mr. Pinoy Hoops) story is all about

I've been looking for paint sponsorships for over 4 years. Finally, someone noticed and are giving us the chance to live out our vision. The opportunity to give back by doing Basketball Art is a dream come true for me. This deal had been in the works for a few months, and finally, I am so happy and proud to say that I am now part of the Nippon family as an ambassador through #EveryCourtCanDream

For starters, we get to paint 1,000 courts. Would you like one of them to be yours? We have no system yet in who we should really pick first so stay tuned for all the info on my YouTube channel. #bornday #Every1CanDream what’s your dream? #Whosnext #nipponpaintph @pinoyhoops #nippongang

Paint Party is a whole day event (from 9 am to 12mn) and everyone (not just the artists) is welcome to join the fun and paint. This event is sponsored by Nippon Paint with the cooperation of What?, Chooks to Go, Nike, MNL Kingpin, Kingscourt, STR8, and Wilson. #paintparty
