Q & A for Terra Bella Products from our Manufacturer and its products

There are a lot of paint products out there that say they are non-toxic, how are they different from yours? 
Our products have no or low VOC’s and NO toxins. The following ingredients are currently not regulated in products made in the United States and those imported into the United States. We do not include any of these ingredients in our products, insuring you they are the safest products on the market today: Formaldehyde, ammonia, acetone, odor masking agents, lead, arsenic, cadmium, heavy metals, methyl acetate, chemical residuals and phallates.

Are Non-Toxic and No VOCs the same?
No. You can have a product that is non-toxic but still contain a harmful amount of VOC’s. Most testing companies do not test for VOC’s when testing for toxicity. You can ask any manufacturer to provide a MSDS (Material Safety & Data Sheet) for VOC information. All of Terra Bella products are no VOC’s. 

I have chemical sensitivities. Can I use your products?

Yes! Our products have been designed for those with chemical and environmental sensitivities in mind. Although all cases are different, our products contain no VOC’s, toxins or irritants. We can supply you with MSDS’s and VOC information and in extreme cases you can consult with your physician.

I am fearful of products made in China. Are any of your products made in China?
No! All of our products are made in the USA. Our Brush Cleaner is made in North America. We believe the only way to ensure the highest quality and safety of our products is to make them in the USA under our direct supervision. We also believe it is important to provide jobs and security to our country and its citizens. Making our products in the USA ensures there is less transportation involved in manufacturing thus reducing energy use and carbon emissions.

Why use our products?
We are dedicated to providing our customers the highest quality in all aspects of our products. From product quality and safety to customer service, we strive for excellence. We are committed to finding the highest quality and most sustainable ways to do business.

How do your products differ from other "safe" products on the market today?

Are there harmful emissions released after a regular paint has dried?
Our company has spent years developing the safest line of finishes and coatings. Our products are exactly what they say they are. We do not use any masking agents, any toxins or any harmful chemicals. Our products are high quality and safe and we are proud of it.
Absolutely.  Just because a regular paint has dried, the harmful VOCs and other emissions are continuously released up to months after the paint has dried. Don’t think that just because the smell is gone, the harmful emissions are gone.

If I am painting layers, how can I protect work that has already been dried and cured without varnishing?

Can I use your "Zero VOC" paint on furniture?

Do you have a varnish or topcoat with no VOCs?
Simply apply a coat of Sealer to each layer as you complete it. This will make it easy to remove only the top layer if needed while protecting all the previous layers.
Absolutely. It’s a great and safe way to paint any furniture in your house to ensure the safety of your family. It is durable and provides a great finish.

Yes, we now offer a great No VOC Varnish to protect all you work and projects.
