TimberSIL® is VOC-free

Volatile organic compounds are virtually everywhere. Every composite material and plastic material contains unreacted raw materials, solvents, partial reaction products, catalysts, and additives such as phthalate esters; all of them VOCs. These components circulate freely in the polymer and continuously release to the air throughout the lifetime of the products. In enclosed environments, such as most homes, these components reach saturation levels, meaning levels that are the highest concentrations chemically possible to achieve. The cleaner the air, the faster these chemicals are released to the air. VOCs rapidly enter the body where they interfere with enzyme function, reduce ability to fight infection, and trigger immune system attacks on
the body.

TimberSIL® is VOC-free by design. Our silicate-based starting formula is entirely mineral based, so there is no possibility that even one VOC molecule is produced. This is extremely important since in today’s environment, most individuals have VOC-triggered immune responses to some degree, and underlying disease responses that can be triggered at extremely low levels of VOCs. The best protection for health, is the elimination of VOCs from indoor air entirely, and TimberSIL® can help move toward this goal.

TimberSIL® is proud of its mineral based, VOC-free process, at the VOC levels we know are needed, and that is complete elimination at the molecule level.
