MRETTY's Non-Toxic Wood Finishes: Crafting Healthier Homes in Singapore

In Singapore’s pursuit of eco-conscious living, MRETTY emerges as a pioneer with non-toxic wood finishes—a harmonious blend of environmental responsibility, advanced technology, and timeless design. Our solutions cater to the city-state’s stringent green standards while elevating interiors with finishes that protect both occupants and the planet.

 The Rising Demand for Non-Toxic Wood Finishes in Singapore

 Why Singaporeans Prioritize Eco-Friendly Finishes

Singapore’s tropical climate and high urban density amplify health risks from volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Traditional finishes like polyurethane release harmful emissions, contributing to indoor air pollution. MRETTY’s non-toxic wood finishes address this by:

  1. Eliminating VOCs: Zero formaldehyde and benzene emissions.

  2. Enhancing Air Quality: Certifications like GREENGUARD Gold ensure safety.

  3. Future-Proofing Homes: Aligning with Singapore’s Green Plan 2030 goals.

Case Study: A Marina Bay condo installed our milk paint finishes, reducing indoor VOC levels by 92% and earning a 2024 BCA Green Mark certification.

 5 Innovations Behind MRETTY’s Non-Toxic Mastery

 1. Plant-Based Formulations with Zero Compromises

Our finishes leverage renewable resources:

  • Tung Oil: Derived from tung tree seeds, it penetrates wood deeply for water resistance without toxins.

  • Linseed Oil: Rich in omega-3 fatty acids, it nourishes wood fibers while being biodegradable.

  • Shellac: A natural resin providing a glossy finish, cured without synthetic additives.

Singapore’s humidity demands moisture-resistant solutions. MRETTY’s finishes utilize:

  • Nano-Encapsulation: Locks in natural oils for extended protection.

  • UV-Curing: Accelerates drying while enhancing scratch resistance.

  • Hygroscopic Coatings: Absorb excess moisture to prevent mold.

Installation Process:

  1. Surface preparation with non-toxic sanding sealers.

  2. Multi-coat application with 48-hour curing intervals.

  3. Final hand-polishing for a museum-quality finish.
