Frequently Asked Questions (Q&A)

What is Creative Oxygen Paint?

Creative Oxygen Paint is a white, inorganic acrylic coating formulated with natural minerals, including silver and zinc oxide. Unlike conventional paints, our product actively purifies indoor air. Designed for application on walls and ceilings, Creative Oxygen Paint enhances your environment by eliminating airborne bacteria and preventing mold and mildew growth. It can be applied to new, prepared surfaces or as a top coat over existing acrylic paint. Air purification begins approximately 3 hours after the paint has dried.

How does Creative Oxygen Paint purify the air?

The air purification process is photocatalytic. Creative Oxygen Paint neutralizes volatile organic compounds (VOCs) by altering their molecular structure. It also disrupts the cellular membranes of airborne bacteria and mold, effectively neutralizing them. This process helps prevent mold growth and eliminates airborne germs, contributing to cleaner, healthier air.

What testing is performed to ensure product quality?

Creative Oxygen Paint undergoes rigorous testing to ensure the quality and integrity of its materials. We utilize reputable international microbiology laboratories in Canada and the United States to validate our mineral components. Our quality control processes include X-ray fluorescence (XRF) analysis, a non-destructive technique for determining elemental composition, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), which provides detailed surface images. These measures ensure that our products consistently meet the highest standards.

Can Creative Oxygen Paint be tinted?

Yes. While Creative Oxygen Paint has a flat white base with a soft earth tone texture, it can be mixed with any color pigment. Simply take Creative Oxygen Paint to a paint store to achieve your desired color.

How long does Creative Oxygen Paint last?

Creative Oxygen Paint, in collaboration with our manufacturing partners in Florida, USA, offers a 20-year limited warranty. To ensure optimal performance over this period, the applied surfaces should be protected from scraping, scratching, cuts, and harsh cleaning. When applied correctly in two coats and allowed to dry for half a day, Creative Oxygen Paint will purify the air in a room for up to 20 years. For most applications, one accent wall or ceiling is sufficient to begin the air purification process.

Why choose Creative Oxygen Paint over a traditional air purifier?

Traditional air purification methods, such as air conditioners, air purifiers, HVAC systems, and air ionizers, often rely on electrical devices with filters that require regular cleaning and consume energy. Creative Oxygen Paint neutralizes airborne pollutants, transforming them into harmless substances naturally. This process is both faster and more durable than traditional methods, and it can lead to significant savings on electricity bills over time.

Application

On what surfaces can Creative Oxygen Paint be applied?

Creative Oxygen Paint is suitable for most architectural surfaces, including new or previously painted walls and ceilings. Glass is the primary exception, as the coating may scratch easily on this surface.

What is the application process?

For uncoated, primed surfaces, we recommend two coats of Creative Oxygen Paint. Lightly colored, previously painted surfaces also benefit from two coats. Dark surfaces may require an initial coat of regular white acrylic paint before applying Creative Oxygen Paint as a topcoat. Allow 3 hours of drying time between coats and 24 hours after the final coat.

How should Creative Oxygen Paint be applied?

Mix Creative Oxygen Paint thoroughly for at least 60 seconds immediately prior to application to ensure even dispersion of the minerals. We recommend using soft brushes or rollers. Creative Oxygen Paint is designed for interior use only.

Performance

How does Creative Oxygen Paint reduce odors?

Creative Oxygen Paint eliminates odors naturally by breaking down the molecular bonds of odor-causing substances, without the use of deodorants, electrical devices, or chemical filters. Deodorants only mask odors, whereas Creative Oxygen Paint removes them.

Where is Creative Oxygen Paint best used?

Oxygenated walls are ideal for homes, offices, clinics, daycare centers, senior care centers, hospitals, restaurants, gyms, airports, museums, underground subways, and other places where high-quality air is essential.

Product Safety and Environmental Impact

Is Creative Oxygen Paint environmentally safe?

Yes, Creative Oxygen Paint is environmentally friendly and safe. Our production processes minimize waste, and over 90% of our materials are natural minerals and fully recyclable. We are a member of PAINTCARE, an NGO based in Washington, DC. Our manufacturing partners in the United States adhere to the highest environmental safety standards and have all the accredited seals. Creative Oxygen Paint is also pursuing Cradle-To-Cradle Gold certification, which verifies that our product does not pollute water sources or generate waste.

Can Creative Oxygen Paint be applied to wood?

While Creative Oxygen Paint is formulated for optimal performance on hard surfaces and drywall, it can be applied to wood surfaces that have been treated with an acrylic wood primer. It is also suitable for use on canvas and metal.

Handling and Maintenance

Can Creative Oxygen Paint be mixed in large quantities and transported?

No. To ensure the minerals are evenly dispersed, Creative Oxygen Paint must be mixed immediately prior to application. We recommend mixing for at least 60 seconds before application.

Can surfaces coated with Creative Oxygen Paint be cleaned?

We do not recommend regular cleaning of surfaces coated with Creative Oxygen Paint. For stains, use a damp cloth to gently dab the affected area. Rubbing the walls may compromise the coating and void our warranty.

What is the ideal surface ratio of Creative Oxygen coating to a room?

Creative Oxygen Paint is not like regular paint, where all walls need to be covered. It can begin to purify the air effectively with just one coated wall per room. While ceilings are optimal, a feature or accent wall of 80 to 100 square feet can provide sufficient air purification. This makes it ideal for DIY projects.
