Electricity. Pants. Skyscrapers. The pencil. Everything starts as an idea. And every idea has a story behind it. The concept of IdeaPaint was hatched in 2002 when a group of college buddies were brainstorming on a business project. The more ideas they had, the less room they had to write them. Frustrated, the conversation turned away from the assignment to the problem at hand. Too bad we just can't paint the walls and write all over them.

No matter where you use it, minds will open and fill with big ideas.



 
Professors and teachers of every discipline can use IdeaPaint to educate, inspire and motivate students of all ages. You can save money and the environment by restoring worn-out whiteboards and chalkboards. Just one coat will turn any space into a 360º learning environment.

Materials
 
Millions of worn out and unwanted whiteboards and blackboards end up in landfills each year. With IdeaPaint, there’s nothing to throw out. You apply it directly over the existing wall, blackboard or surface in your school. When you’re ready for something new, just paint over it. IdeaPaint can even restore your old whiteboards and add years to their life.

IdeaPaint ships in small boxes and uses less packing materials than traditional whiteboards. And we don’t use valuable raw materials typically found in other dry-erase products. No wood, steel, aluminum, vinyl or resin—just paint.

Air Quality
 
Many dry-erase surfaces contain formaldehyde, which slowly releases gas and diminishes indoor air quality for the life of the product. IdeaPaint is formaldehyde-free, conforms to all U.S. EPA regulations (including California) and does not produce any harmful gas once it’s dry.

Chalk dust consists of tiny particles that are easily breathed in and scattered across the classroom. Switching to a dry-erase surface can help protect students with allergies and asthma and keep dust from damaging your electronics.
 
Energy
 
Traditional dry-erase boards require baking and curing procedures that consume large of amounts of energy. IdeaPaint is simply stirred. And because our product is much lighter and smaller, it requires less material and fuel to ship.
