ECOBOND Paint, LLC said it successfully developed a smoke and odor blocking paint specially formulated as a defense and protection against odor, smoke and fumes from cigarettes, marijuana, meth, fire, and other odors. “We are passionate about restoring our environment and protecting people from the hazards of smoke odor with our patent-pending ECOBOND OdorDefender paint technology,” said James Barthel, president and creator of ECOBOND. “As we researched the prevalence of this problem, we discovered facts and statistics on both the staggering number of cigarette, as well as marijuana smokers, combined with scientific studies on an interesting phenomenon called ‘Third-hand smoke.’” In 2016, the CDC reported that 37.8 million U.S. adults were current cigarette smokers. This represents an estimated 14,590,800 households impacted by cigarette smoke. In 2016, Gallup reported that over 40 million U.S. adults said they smoke weed. This represents an estimated 15,440,000 households impacted by weed smoke. Additionally, “Third-hand smoke” consists of the tobacco residue from cigarettes, pot, and other products left behind after smoking, and builds up on surfaces and furnishings. The National Institute of Health found that these toxic “brews” can then reemit back into the air and recombine to form harmful compounds that remain at high levels long after smoking has stopped occurring. “Typically a revolutionary new breakthrough causes the price to be high, but because ECOBOND OdorDefender uses a proprietary specialty formulation, we are now able to bring this to market at an affordable low price,” Barthel said. “The formulation includes resins, food-grade mineral additives, and alginate from seaweed; nature’s most effective absorber of toxic pollutants. This powerful combination gives the peace of mind that odor issues will be sealed and blocked, while protecting human health.”
