Your Family's Safety is Our First Priority
Refinishing a bathtub typically takes place in a small, poorly ventilated bathroom. Many standard kits and epoxies emit toxic fumes (VOCs) that are harmful to breathe and can linger in the air for days. We designed Armoglaze to stand out by offering a product that is durable, beautiful, and independently certified as safe for your family.
What is EPA Method 24? And What Are VOCs?
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) uses Method 24 to measure the amount of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) in paints and coatings are harmful chemical solvents that produce the strong, toxic "paint smell." These fumes are unsafe for indoor use and can cause headaches, dizziness, and respiratory issues. A "Zero-VOC" or "Low-VOC" product is considered the safest and most eco-friendly choice.
The Armoglaze Difference: Backed by Lab Reports
Confirmed Safe & Inert After Curing
The lab tests show:
- No Leaching: The cured finish was exposed to hot (60°C) and cold (10°C) water for one hour.
- Completely Stable: After water exposure, the cured paint was retested and showed 100.0% non-volatile residue and VOC content of less than 0.1 lbs/gallon.
This data confirms that after Armoglaze cures, it becomes a stable, inert solid that does not leach. It is entirely safe for you, your children, and your pets.
Armoglaze Safety & Lab Certification Data
At Armoglaze, we back up our product claims with independent scientific proof. We submitted our materials to RTI Laboratories, a certified independent testing facility, for official testing using the standard EPA-24 method.
The laboratory analysis confirms that Armoglaze contains 0% VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds) once applied. After the material undergoes its full cure cycle, it chemically transforms into a completely stable, cross-linked, inert solid. In this cured state, the material is entirely non-leaching and toxicologically inert, meaning it does not release any harmful chemicals into your home or the environment.
It is completely safe for standard household use around adults, children, and pets.
