Just to tell you a bit more about the project, the medium used in the art works is Boysen KNOxOUT –the first air-cleaning paint in the which has been proven to transform 10 cars worth of emissions per square meter painted. Eight walls measuring 1000sqm each along the nearly 24-kilometer stretch of historic EDSA will be repainted using the paint. Each art work is expected to purify the emissions of 10,000 cars everyday.

Re the questions:

1. Is it toxic? NO.The paint is low-VOC and it contains no lead and mercury. It actually breaks down smog or air pollutants like NOx into harmless substances like water vapor.

2. How long does it last? The air cleaning property of the paint works as long as the paint is intact and exposed to a light source (ie. sunlight, UV light). The paint can last the regular painting interval of 5 years.

3. Cost? In canvassing costs, the fact that Boysen KNOxOUT is an air purifier more than a paint product should be considered–you’re technically buying an air purifier while getting a quality paint for ‘free.’ Exact price quotation can be directed to inquiry@boysen.com.ph.

4. Could it be used as base house paint? YES. It is recommended however that it’s exposed to a light source that will activate the air -cleaning property.

If cost/duration is low enough and not toxic. Then think all those noise reduction walls next to highway going into a city. They get painted.
