Construction of ECOTREND CERAMIC

Characteristics and Features

Environmentally-friendly ECOTREND Ceramic is manufactured using inorganic,
ceramic material which is completely harmless to the human body
Regular paints contain volatile organic solvent, ammonia, and formaldehyde, threatening our health.

ECOTREND Ceramic reduces environmental impact
The paint industry accounts for about 9% of all VOC emissions in Australia. However, ECOTREND Ceramic contains no VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds) or heavy metals.
Comparison of harmful ingredients in ECOTREND and regular paint:

Classes	VOCs			Formaldehyde
Classes	Benzene	Toulene	Xylene	Formaldehyde
ECOTREND Ceramic	None	None	None	None
Oil Paint	-	2,000~5,000	10,000~30,000	200~500
Water Paint	30~100	500~3,000	-	20~80

NOTE) The measurement is for the quantities by the unit area in the room within 24 hours of painting

Excellent water-resistance
Regular paint often peels or blisters when moisture gets trapped between it and the underlying substrate. in contrast, ECOTREND Ceramic actually improves in contact with water.
The unique water-resisting properties of ECOTREND Ceramic will be best appreciated where the surface is is constantly subject to moisture.

Excellent cohesive strength
ECOTREND Ceramic has excellent adhesive strength because it forms a chemical bond with masonry surfaces. It also has excellent adhesion to smooth surfaces such as tiles where regular paints cannot be used.

Outstanding durability
As opposed to regular paints that require repainting every 3 to 5 years, ECOTREND Ceramic is semi-permanent because of its excellent water-resistance, high durability and alkali-proofing, thereby reducing maintenance costs. Just cleaning the painted surface will make it look new

Antibacterial activity & Anti-fungal activity
Lacking antibiosis, regular paints are hotbeds for every germs and virus. In particular, highly contagious microbes such as O-157 or MRSA are most likely to cause secondary infection. ECOTREND Ceramic with antibacterial and anti-fungal activity fundamentally exterminates germs and fungi. Unique and powerful antibiosis of ECOTREND Ceramic will be manifested when used in hospitals and barns where antibiosis is specially required

Antibacterial & Anti-fungal properties
Lacking antibiosis, regular paints are hotbeds for many germs and viruses. In particular, highly contagious microbes such as O-157 or MRSA are most likely to cause secondary infection. ECOTREND Ceramic with antibacterial and anti-fungal properties eliminate germs and fungi. The unique and powerful antibacterial properties of ECOTREND Ceramic will be appreciated when used in hospitals where antibiosis is especially required

Non-flammable : class 1 non-flammability
Casualties of fire mostly result from the toxic gas from finishing materials. ECOTREND Ceramic is a class 1 non-flammable paint and does not give off any toxic gas in case of fire.

Humidity control capability
With its unique paint film structure, ECOTREND Ceramic is able to control humidity by absorbing or releasing moisture through fine gas cavities, making it ideal for areas prone to condensation..

Elegant Appearance
ECOTREND Ceramic has a unique subtle ceramic texture and is colour fast. Available in luxurious pastel tones. -Go to the color Test

Use ECOTREND Ceramic to create texture and patterns.
Use EcoTrend Ceramic to create patterns using various application methods as well as rollers, brushes, and sprayers just like normal paint. Three dimensional effects by using rollers, knifes, trowels is also possible.
