A pioneer manufacturer of paints and coatings ‘Robbialac’ was awarded the ‘Green Label Product’ certification for its range of Premium Interior and Exterior Emulsions Collection of paints which consists of both Robbialac Brilliant White and Colours. 

This prestigious accolade was presented by the Green Building Council of Sri Lanka, at the 11th Annual Green Building Award Ceremony 2022 (AGBA 2022) organised by the Green Building Council of Sri Lanka.

Renown in the market for its brilliant white emulsion paints, the brand Robbialac is synonymous with decorative coatings such as interior/exterior emulsion paints, enamels, warranty coating systems, epoxy flooring, wood care products, water proofing coatings and tailor-made coatings for special applications. 

The Premium Emulsions Collection which was recognised at this prestigious event has low volatile organic compounds, low heavy metals and low lead content which meet the guidelines specified by the World Green Building Council. This means it helps reduce the heavy metal concentrations in our surroundings instating a safer solution by reducing the interaction with harmful substances benefiting both humans as well as the environment.
