What are paintballs made of?
The origin of paintballs is a little bit less safe. You can think of paintball as a large supplement capsule that holds the fill and breaks upon the impact. Back in the ’80s when this awesome game of paintball was created, the paint commonly used was oil-based, and was unfriendly to the environment. Oil-based paint is the most difficult to wash out of clothing and can react with the gelatin shell, making the paintball less accurate while shooting. It can also have an effect on the local environment.

That doesn’t sound like fun.
Delta Force Paintball uses Polyethylene Glycol filled shells (PEG) that break upon impact. The fill inside the shell is dye and solvent which makes the trademark splatter on contact. This dye or paint is environmentally friendly, non-toxic, biodegradable and is water-soluble. The PEG paintballs we use are of high quality and have better circular consistency (meaning better distance and accuracy). You don’t have to worry even if you get a splatter in your mouth. These shells and the inside fill is entirely made up of food-grade materials.

The water solubility of the paint means that it will wash out of your clothes with ease.
Less washing up = win.
