FAQS

Ecogreen Plus™ Photocatalytic cement paint FAQ’s

1.) What is Ecogreen Plus™

Ecogreen Plus™ is an innovative paint technology based on an active principles with Photocatalytic properties, Our products are able to break down organic and inorganic pollutants and preserve the aesthetic quality of the finished surfaces over time. Ecogreen Plus™, with its self-cleaning and de polluting properties, is the seal of quality for photoactive construction and painting projects.

2.) How does Ecogreen Plus™ work? What is photo catalysis?

Photocatalysis is a natural phenomenon in which a substance, the Photocatalytic principle, utilizes light to alter the speed of a chemical reaction. By taking advantage of the energy of light, the principle will accelerate the formation of strong oxidizing reagents which will result in the decomposition of organic and inorganic pollutants. These pollutants are responsible for gathering on various surfaces causing discoloration, as well as, many health and environmental related issues.

3.) What pollutants does the use of Ecogreen Plus™ reduce?

It is proven that our products will reduce pollutants associated with motor vehicle exhaust, heating exhaust, fuel combustion and other commercial and industrial processes. They include:

Nitrogen Oxides (NOx), Sulfur Oxides (Sox), Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC’s), and Particulate Matter (PM), among others.

4.) Will the Ecogreen Plus™ ingredients be consumed or ever used up?

The main ingredients are catalysts that accelerate a natural oxidation process and are not consumed in the process. As long as the surface remains intact and UV light can trigger the process, the principle will remain indefinitely.

5.) Will Ecogreen Plus™ work in closed environments or indoors?

Photo catalysis does need the effect of ultra-violet (UV) light to accelerate the oxidation process; however, the use in internal structures is indeed possible. Ecogreen Plus™ can be used in indoor environments where artificial U.V. light of the correct wavelength is utilized.

6.) Can surfaces using Ecogreen Plus™ products be labeled graffiti proof?

Ecogreen Plus™ will not eliminate graffiti. Many paint suppliers are now producing inks/paints with UV resistance to prevent fading.

7.) What colors are available?

Our paint is supplied in white and a variety of colors.

8.) Where has Ecogreen Plus™ photo catalytic product been used?

Photocatalytic products have been used extensively in the European market for over a decade. The technology has been tested and verified with our laboratories, universities and non-profit research facilities. The first project of recognition was the Dives of Misericordia church in Rome, designed by Richard Meier, one of the most renowned architects in the world. In addition, many other projects with different applications have been completed. They include precast concrete buildings, roadways, paver blocks, tunnels, and finish coatings.

9.) What independent case studies have been completed to verify the Ecogreen Plus™ Photo catalytic technology?

In 2001, the Photo catalytic Innovative Covering Applications for De pollution Assessment (PICADA) Project commenced. The PICADA Project consisted of independent research centers, manufacturers and contactors to verify and assess the de polluting characteristics of the technology. They performed laboratory and field trials, as well as, real life applications.

10.) How much do Ecogreen Plus™ Photo catalytic products cost?

Ecogreen Plus™ Photocatalytic paint is competitively priced. It is not more expensive than any other premium quality paint in the market. In an addition, its quality and features are second to none.
