![]() Some extremely sensitive folks may not tolerate it, or may need to leave the room until it’s cured.I expect some acrylic in it as the binders. Not enough hints to any of the ingredients other than it’s high in calcium carbonate (25-50%), and high in titanium dioxide.What I don’t like about Annie Sloan Chalk Paint (Cons): One coat (in many cases) and no primer needed makes this the fastest to apply.Rarely is sanding or priming the surface first necessary.Very versatile – it can be used on walls, floors, wood, cabinets, concrete, metal, matte plastic, earthenware, brick, stone, over waxed shellac, and more.Extremely low odor, will be suitable for many chemically sensitive folks (but not all).What I like About Annie Sloan Chalk Paint (Pros): (The wall paint does not require a wax and is not considered breathable). If you are in Europe they do recommend the wall paint for kitchens, bathrooms, and walls that require a tougher, scrubbable finish. This is one of few non-toxic paints that can be used on radiators (more info on that here). Like with clay paint, you can use wax over it to provide more protection and durability to use it in high-impact areas. The company does not recommend using Chalk Paint on walls in kitchens, bathrooms, and anywhere else that requires a tougher, scrubbable finish. Like clay paint, it has a matte finish that is not scrubbable. The known and suspected ingredients in Annie Sloan Chalk Paint are listed here. The finish is an ultra-matte, chalk-like look. It also works as a non-toxic chalkboard paint (to write on). You don’t need to prime or sand most surfaces. The most interesting aspect of this paint is its self-priming ability over a wide range of surfaces. In short, it works on walls but is not super durable to stains unless you add a wax topcoat. Right now it is not available in North America (only Europe), I tested their regular Chalk Paint on paperbacked gypsum wallboard. They do have a separate paint that is labeled as wall paint.

This is about as non-toxic as you can get in a synthetic paint.Ĭhalked Paint is slightly higher in odor but is still a rather low odor formula.Ī couple of other brands list themselves as zero-VOC though one brand that is water-based manages to neither be low-VOC nor low-odor. ![]() ![]() ![]() It could easily be preferred to regular acrylic paint by those who are sensitive to chemicals. Annie Sloan Chalk Paint is the lowest odor formula and is much lower in odor than a regular zero-VOC acrylic (latex) wall paint. I tested and compared two brands for myself. The water-based formulas can be extremely low in odor, however, there are also solvent-based options that are not low-VOC nor non-toxic. These are paints high in calcium carbonate and other minerals and low in synthetic binders.
