White concrete is notorious for staining and soiling during and after construction, and the contractor needed a solution that would keep the form liner moulded architectural concrete looking as new well beyondcompletion.
ECOTONE applied a protective self cleaning coating system via spray application across the top edge, exterior, bottom edge and internal concrete walling, delivering self cleaning and anti carbonation benefits while purifying the surrounding air oncontact.
Revisiting the site since construction in 2018, the coating continues to self clean even under extreme weather conditions and throughout the construction of the neighbouring Commbank Stadium, reducing lifecycle costs and keeping the concrete looking as new yearson.

“ This is an example of our functional and protective coatings removing the barriers to having white or fair-faced concrete or cladding in building designs. Their self-cleaning, anti-carbonation and anti-fungal properties mean buildings look as good as new, enabling fresher and lighter colours to be more prevalent in our built environment.”

FAQs
ECOTONE provides architectural finishes, colour matching solutions, and protective coatings including emulsion stains, sealants, primers, and waterproof and weatherproof systems designed to enhance, restore, and protect building surfaces with long lasting, low VOCperformance.
Standard paint is a surface-level decorative layer. ECOTONE coatings are multi-layered systems that penetrate and bond with the substrate, delivering deeper texture, stronger adhesion, and long-term durability. Designed for harsh conditions, they offer advanced protection and can last up to 25 years when properlyapplied.
ECOTONE coating systems are specified for application by approved applicators trained in our products and processes, ensuring consistent quality and eligibility for the 25-yearwarranty. Many projects are delivered as custom building finishes, with ECOTONE working directly with architects, builders, and precast partners to achieve the design intent. For new projects or pricing, contact your local ECOTONE office or submit a ProjectEnquiry.
ECOTONE coatings are compatible with a wide range of building materials such as concrete, brick, block, mortar, fibre cement andplasterboard. Each substrate needs the right preparation and, where required, a suitable primer. Technical data sheets and other resources are available to help select the correct ECOTONE products for yourproject.
Sustainability at ECOTONE is driven by how surfaces are designed, applied and maintained over time. Our coating systems reduce material use, extend building life and minimise environmental impact across the builtenvironment.
