Behr recognized by Greenguard

Behr Process Corp. announced that two of its paint lines meet guidelines of the Greenguard Environmental Institute (GEI). Behr's recently certified products include all Behr Premium Plus and Premium Plus Ultra interior paints, including the Behr Premium Plus interior/exterior high-gloss series.

"Behr is proud to offer high-quality, environmentally-safe professional products," said Joe Richardson, senior VP of professional products and services for Behr Process Corp. "With this certification, our customers can be assured that their clients will have healthier indoor air quality in their home or business environments."

According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, The America Lung Association, and the World Health Organization, indoor pollution is one of the greatest risks to human health. Behr's certified low-chemical emissions products meet both Greenguard Indoor Air Quality and Greenguard Children & Schools standards, helping minimize the release of indoor pollutants into the air, and creating healthier living environments. Both certification programs ensure that products designed for use indoors, including spaces where children often reside, meet strict chemical emissions limits.

Behr is a subsidiary of Masco Corp.
