Technology designed to make
the great indoors even greater.
Let's go back a few hundred years.
In the past, air circulated freely through
gaps in walls, windows and doors. And
while we've become better over the
years at sealing interior environments,
we've also sealed

And oh yeah, it's paint.

The science behind the technology.
It starts with odor eliminating technology
that deconstructs carbon molecules,
neutralizing and dissipating odors. Then,
new formaldehyde reducing technology*
helps to transform airborne aldehydes
into water molecules and harmless inert
gas, reducing these VOCs from potential
*Formaldehyde Reducing Technology is currently available in ﬂat and eg-shel sheens. The length of
time Harmony actively reduces odors and formaldehyde depends on the concentration, the frequency of
exposure and the amount of painted surface area.
