Description

Ecodur is an environmentally sustainable protective coating that defeats some of the harshest environments that the natural and man-made world can throw at steel, wood, concrete and many other substrates.

These products have a proven track record dating back to the 1990s.

Over US$3.0 million invested in research and testing in commercial and industrial applications.

Toxicity – Ecodur has 0 VOCs and no BPA. Ecodur helps fulfill the public’s desire for coating products that are truly ‘green’ and safe for use in residential, commercial or heavy industrial applications.

Benefits;

Ecodure meets:

the harshest demands for toughness, longevity, integrity
the demands of sustainability and ‘green’ product policies
the demands of health, safety and protection for workers
the demands of various industries for ‘unique’ usage

Ease of Use:

with purpose-built airless spray technology
short learning curve for workers to handle and apply
can be applied by rolling, brushing or pouring due to its self-leveling qualities

Cheaper, Faster, Better, Naturally.

Compatible with MagO Panels

Suitable for:

Food prep and pharmaceutical industries
Concrete coating
Potable water storage and distribution systems

Technology

The main ingredients are gypsum powder and castor bean oil.

Gypsum

Gypsum is a widely available and abundant natural mineral that is used in Ecodur to produce industrial strength coatings and building materials.

Castagra has developed the technology to bond highly water-resistant natural oils directly with the water molecules in the gypsum such that these components become “fixed” into a polymer matrix and unable to become wet or soggy.

Castor has been developed and used for centuries to make lubricants pharmaceuticals and many other useful products including as a health supplement.

Products made from natural castor oil ingredients have superior properties compared to crude oil products.

Ecodur Vs Traditional Epoxy Coatings

Properties Metrics	Epoxies	Ecodur 201
Adhesion	Most epoxies don’t stick well. Adhesion rate is typically 50%.	Ecodur’s adhesion rate is 98% to 100%. It bonds molecularly to cellulosic surfaces such as wood, and natural fibres, including straw.
Flexibility	Most epoxies are not flexible. They tend to crack and flake in heat and cold very quickly allowing moisture, oxygen, and contaminants to reach the base surface.	Ecodur is flexible, highly protective and has passed forward and reverse impact tests.
Cost	Most epoxies are expensive. Material costs are high, and the application process is difficult.	Cost effective. Easily applied and easy to clean. Overall life cycle costs are much lower.
Performance	Epoxies show early failure and have limited lifespan, particularly in harsh industrial and marine conditions.	Ecodur has a 20-year history in marine and concrete construction applications where they easily outperform epoxies.
Application Speed	Epoxy coatings takes about twice as much effort and time to cover a surface.	Half the time. Due to fast cure rates and minimal surface prep. Ecodur does not slide on vertical surfaces due to fast set times.
Environment	Most epoxies are toxic and petrochemical based. Clean up requires hazardous solvents (acetone).	Ecodur is a plant oil and gypsum based non-toxic coating. No solvents are used to clean spray equipment
