Facade renovation covering ECOREFLEX

for ceilingroof

Product overview:
Water-based, ultra-reflective, self-cleaning photocatalytic resin protective coating. Ecoreflex initiates a photocatalytic process that decomposes pollutants and reduces local pollution. It reflects solar radiation, lowers substrate temperature and helps reduce summer air-conditioning energy needs. Ready to use; suitable for horizontal, vertical and sloped surfaces with good adhesion even on slightly bituminous or slated substrates.

Key properties:

• Photocatalytic, self-cleaning action
• Significant smog abatement capability (isopropanol conversion: 80% after 24 h under test conditions)
• Contributes to reduced energy demand for summer air conditioning
• Reduces urban heat island effect
• Compatible as a finish for waterproofing systems based on synthetic resins
• High solar reflectance (82%)
• High thermal emissivity (E = 90%) and SRI = 103%
• High elasticity across temperature range
• Good re-waterproofing capability
• Easy and quick to apply; solvent free

Yield and packaging:
– Yield: 1.00 kg/m² = 0.204 lb/ft²
– Packaging: 5 kg plastic bucket; 20 kg plastic bucket

Drying time and application:
– Drying time: approx. 5 h (value referred to +23°C / +73°F and 50% RH)

Application methods:

• Brush
• Roll
• Airless spray
