Why EcoKote?








     

EcoKote Marine Coatings are a revolution in marine paint. Think before you paint again. Environmentally responsible EcoKote is suitable for all marine surfaces.


  • Ultra low VOC; EcoKote has less than 30 g/L VOC.
  • EcoKote is environmentally responsible in every way
  • EcoKote does not contain any toxic substances
  • EcoKote is applicable to all types of marine surfaces (Gelcoat, fiberglass, aluminum, galvanized steel, wood, etc)
  • EcoKote is waterproof. It has excellent vapor permeation properties
  • EcoKote can be applied as High Gloss, Semi-matt or full-matt
  • EcoKote is not affected by salt water, acids or bases.
  • EcoKote displays thermal expansion and shrinkage properties compatible with the substrate even at thermal shocks between - 176 F and + 392 F
  • EcoKote is suitable for continuous use in environments between -176 F and 392 F
  • EcoKote can be applied by spray HVLP equipment (Low pressure)
  • EcoKote has real metallic versions available, and can color match any sample. Minimum orders quantities may apply.
  • Touch ups are extremely easy and invisible, even after years of use.
  • EcoKote is anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, and has anti-mold properties.
  • EcoKote is not affected by UV rays and does not fade

  • Requires very little surface preparation
  • Has anti-static properties

EcoKote is the most advanced water based paint in the world.


The limitations imposed by the USA, European Union, Japan, and many other nations based upon the 1988 Montreal Protocol on the amount of VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds) in paints caused great problems in technology and painting applications. By using high content solvent-based paints, high solid water-based paints and electrostatic paints, attempts are being made to overcome these problems. The solutions offered by electrostatic paints are limited in application by the physical size of the piece to be painted, as well as the secondary components of the paint that generally carry serious health risks. High solid water-based paints also have some application problems and exhibit inadequate physical and chemical properties. This has led marine paint manufacturers to turn to water-based paints in order to seek solutions for the problems. For this reason they have been carrying out extensive research worldwide.


The most developed marine water based paint in the world is EcoKote. Polyurethane paints modified by acrylics, or those with ultra-fast oxygen activation have largely solved the problems with marine paint. Water-based, self-priming EcoKote can be applied directly to aluminum, fiberglass, gel-coat, PVC, galvanized steel, and other surfaces previously thought "un-paintable."
