Question 1

What are ECOCLEAN clear coating systems?

Accepted Answer

ECOCLEAN clear coating systems are invisible protective facade coatings that can be applied over ECOTONE Colour By Design and Corrective finishes or any other unprotected surfaces to shield concrete, masonry, brick, block and cladding from environmental and human impact with self‑cleaning, anti‑carbonation and graffiti‑resistant performance. When applied to any unprotected surfaces, it can also receive the same protection.

Question 2

When should I specify ECOCLEAN instead of a standard sealer?

Accepted Answer

Specify ECOCLEAN when you need long‑life facade protection and self‑cleaning clear coatings that preserve the original design finish while reducing cleaning, maintenance frequency and whole‑of‑life costs for exterior facades and high‑use interior surfaces. Unlike your standard sealers, ECOCLEAN’s self-cleaning technology helps inhibit mould growth and break down organic particulate matter on the surface. However, it will not decompose earthen dirt or inorganic matter, which may still require normal cleaning depending on exposure and site conditions.

Question 3

What types of damage do ECOCLEAN protective coatings help prevent?

Accepted Answer

ECOCLEAN coatings are designed to help resist moisture ingress and corrosion, UV weathering and colour fade, pollution‑related staining and mould growth, as well as graffiti and other surface vandalism through clear facade protection, self‑cleaning and anti‑graffiti performance.

Question 4

Which substrates are compatible with ECOCLEAN clear protective coatings?

Accepted Answer

ECOCLEAN systems can be applied to any unprotected surfaces and also on ECOTONE‑finished concrete facades, masonry, brick, block, fibre cement cladding and selected interior surfaces, providing clear facade protection on these substrates when the correct surface preparation and priming guidance is followed.

Question 5

How do ECOCLEAN coatings support sustainability and lifecycle performance?

Accepted Answer

By extending the service life of facades, maintaining long‑term visual quality and reducing the need for aggressive cleaning or premature recoating, ECOCLEAN clear facade protection and self‑cleaning coating systems lower maintenance impacts and support more sustainable, low‑maintenance building envelopes.

Question 6

What’s the difference between ECOTONE & ECOCLEAN SYSTEMS?

Accepted Answer

ECOTONE and ECOCLEAN are sister companies with complementary coating systems. ECOTONE coating systems are long-life applied colour coatings designed to colour match, restore or create architectural finishes across surfaces such as brick, block, mortar and concrete. ECOCLEAN systems are clear protective coatings that can be applied over ECOTONE finishes, or directly to a wide range of other suitable surfaces. These include sealers, anti-graffiti coatings and self-cleaning coatings that help preserve the as-new appearance of a surface, reduce cleaning and maintenance requirements. Self cleaning systems support cleaner environments by breaking down airborne pollutants that come into contact with the coating.
