Does Eco-Coat 1500 release offensive odors during installation or off gas over time?

Eco-Coat 1500 is a very high-solids formulation and contains Zero Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC’s).  Not only does the product not off-gas to release fumes into the air like many alternative coatings, but within one (1) to two (2) hours following application, there is no trace of odor left from the product’s application.

Is Eco-Coat 1500 an eco-friendly product?

Eco-Protective Products uses bio based, readily renewable ingredients and recycled material in the production of Eco-Coat 1500. Additionally, many of our aggregate broadcast systems use recycled materials including post-consumer products.

Both cement based and polyurea Polyaspartic systems are composed of Zero VOC materials, thus not contributing toward the production of ozone or creating inhospitable working conditions due to offensive fumes and odors that accompany many coating systems. Eco-Coat 1500 exhibits no off gassing over the life of the cured floor, and the impermeable, cleanable aggregate finish prevents water and moisture accumulation, inhibiting microbial growth. Eco-Coat 1500 serves to create a mold-free environment with improved indoor air quality.

How long after coating with Eco-Coat 1500 can I start using the floor as intended?

For the end-user, the return to use time of Eco-Coat 1500 is truly an invaluable benefit. The application process can be completed in one day in most cases, and once the final coat has been applied, light foot traffic can resume in as little as one (1) hour, and the space can be returned to full operational use within twenty-four (24) hours in most cases.

This is extremely important in manufacturing facilities, commercial spaces, and restaurant kitchens where operational downtime is a major impediment to normal business. For homeowners’ garages, the installation of an epoxy might require storage of cars and belongings outside of the garage for multiple days, but with Eco-Coat 1500, everything can be replaced the very next day.
