EPA recognizes Star Line paint

CLEVELAND – In January 2009, Pioneer Athletics introduced the Brite Stripe Ultra-Friendly product line, the first-ever field paint designated by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA’s) “Design for the Environment” product. On Nov. 17, Pioneer announced a second EPA-recognized paint named Star Line Ultra Friendly, the companion product to its paint-in-a-box sprayer, the Star Striper.

Just like Pioneer’s previously released Brite Stripe Ultra Friendly, Star Line Ultra Friendly is completely free of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and includes more readily biodegradable components than ever before.

“Intensive ingredient research contributed to formulation breakthroughs for our Brite Stripe Ultra Friendly line of paints,” said Doug Schattinger, president of Pioneer Athletics. “It was important to our company that we continue to introduce additional products that help relieve environmental stress and improve field surface health.”

Pioneer Athletics is the only manufacturer of EPA-recognized “Design for the Environment” products. For more information, visit www.pioneerathletics.com.
