An object painted with saliva-resistant color is resistant to saliva. Testing is performed in accordance with DIN 53160-1+2:2010 (Determination of the color-fastness of articles for common use). Saliva resistance should not be confused with suitability for use with foodstuffs.

Paintings on textiles remain intact during washing up to 40 °C if they have been fixed beforehand with an iron or in the oven.

The dried paint is waterproof and the painted decoration can be safely cleaned with a damp cloth.

The dried paint is waterproof and weatherproof. This makes it suitable for outdoor decorations. Paintings can also withstand rain showers.

The color is washable.

The formulation contains innovative raw materials from renewable sources or natural materials. For example, our Glass & Porcelain range contains a binding agent based on vegetable oil, the transfer marker is based on a by-product of beet production and, where necessary, we use bioethanol of German origin. It goes without saying that the extraction of these innovative ingredients must not compete with food production.

The plastic of the bottle, lid or marker consists of XX % recycled material.

The cardboard packaging consists of XX % recycled material.

The glass of the product consists of XX % recycled glass.

The label is made from XX % recycled fibers.

The paint is produced fairly and safely in Germany.

The paint is refillable.

The product is water-based.

The product is manufactured on a synthetic resin basis.

Products that are dermatologically tested have undergone a skin compatibility test. Dermatologists test 30 test subjects in an epicutaneous test in accordance with international guidelines to ensure that no toxic-irritant intolerance reaction occurs in any of them.

We do not use any raw materials of animal origin in the formulation. No animal testing is carried out or commissioned in the manufacture of the product.

The paint can be washed out of textiles at 30 °C and above in the washing machine.

This symbol indicates that the product contains microplastics as defined in Annex XVII of Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006 (“REACH”) (e.g. glitter particles).

KREUL paints marked with the microplastic pictogram contain microplastics, e.g. in the form of glitter. These microplastic particles are enclosed in a solid film during the drying process and remain permanently on the painting surface. Microplastics become a cause for concern when they enter the water cycle. This is the case when painting tools are cleaned under running water at the sink. To prevent the release of microplastics into the environment, we recommend here how to clean painting tools correctly.

• Brush cleaning: We recommend thoroughly wiping used brushes, palette knives or painting knives with a paper towel. This can be disposed of in the residual waste. Paint residues in the brush hairs can then be removed with water. To do this, fill a container (e.g. empty pickle jar) with a little water and swirl the pre-cleaned brush in it several times. Wipe the brush again with a paper towel. Repeat the process if necessary. Do not empty the paint water down the sink, but keep it and allow it to dry. Use the glass container for further brush cleaning or dispose of it in the waste glass container.
• Larger quantities of water or paint water: Allow the paint water to settle overnight. Pour the clear water into a second glass and use as painting water. Wipe out the paint residue at the bottom with a paper towel and dispose of the towel in the residual waste.
• Small paint roller: Clean like brushes (see above), but in a small bucket instead of a jar.
• Painting pallets: Wipe plastic and wooden pallets with a paper towel. Put this in the residual waste. Wipe glass and ceramic pallets (or tiles) with a cloth first. Remove dried paint residues with a ceramic scraper.
