India: Spearheading sustainability & innovation through its passion for paint, AkzoNobel India has today launched its most exclusive, super-premium interior emulsion offering that puts health and wellness first.

The latest innovation ‘Dulux Better Living Air Clean Biobased’ is India’s first U.S.D.A (United States Department of Agriculture) certified Bio-based paint that purifies indoor air, so your home is healthier.

Dulux Better Living Air Clean Biobased has 26% bio-based content (derived from sustainable plant-based sources). Adding more value, is the goodness of natural ingredients such as active bamboo charcoal and tea tree oil, that make it a smart and sustainable paint solution.

Multiplying the Health & Wellness benefits of the natural sustainable formulation is AkzoNobel’s proprietary innovation – the Pure Air Technology.

The innovative Pure Air technology together with the goodness of natural & bio-based ingredients empowers our customers looking for an effective sustainable way to improve the health and well-being of their family.”
