Platinum Exterior 1000
About Platinum Exterior 1000
Platinum Exterior 1000 is a water based, 100% pure Acrylic Elastomeric Coating. This superb coating
product is a Low VOC exterior, thermal barrier paint that is based on innovative ceramic and
elastomeric technologies. Combined, they exhibit enhanced weatherability and resistance to UV
degredation, moisture penetratrion, abrasion, and solar radiant heat. The paint is the ideal solution for
both commercial and residential purposes.

Quality Ingredients + Eco-Friendly Composition


Eco-Protective Products manufactures Platinum Exterior 1000 using the highest quality raw materials
enabling performance like no other paint on the market. The coating derives its unmatched performance
from infused proprietary ceramic micro-beads and 100% pure elastomeric resins. This provides two
important benefits: 1) more of the material painted on the walls will remain once cured because there are
no solvents to flash-off and 2) the paint cures 3-4 times thicker than normal paint, adding tremendous
value and protection to the exterior of a home or facility. Platinum Exterior 1000 DOES NOT contribute
toward exterior air pollution or ozone production like other high performing exterior paints.
Platinum Exterior 1000 contains zero plasticizers (these are plastic-like materials added to paints to
increase elongation. They degrade when exposed to sunlight, leading to a loss in color stability and a
brittle, poor performing paint that gradually loses adhesion and leaves substrates susceptible to external
damaging).
Delivers Long Lasting Value at a Fraction of the Lifetime Cost of Traditional Paint
Year after year, businesses, homeowners, and property management companies spend valuable Time and
Money repainting buildings and facilities. Platinum Exterior 1000 will last 15+ years. Therefore,
building owners/ managers can avoid as many as 5 costly capital outlays for repainting. By eliminating
spending Thousands of Dollars every few years as required with traditional paint, Eco-Protective
Products’ Platinum Exterior 1000 frees capital to be invested toward more profitable endeavors of your
company or organization.
Increased Energy Efficiency
Platinum Exterior 1000 produces an increase in energy efficiency when applied to the exterior walls of a
facility. During summer months, exterior surfaces that are exposed to sunlight act as a heat sink,
collecting daytime heat and transferring it into a building's interior. Platinum Exterior 1000 virtually
eliminates painted walls as a heat sink because it is highly reflective and emissive, radiating solar energy
away from buildings instead of transferring the energy into the interior.
By lengthening the painting cycle to once every fifteen (15) to twenty (20) years, and reducing power
bills and HVAC maintenance costs, Platinum Exterior 1000 will allow customers to save thousands of
dollars every year.

Eco-Coat 1500 Features and Benefits
Ease of Installation
Installation begins by using a diamond grinding combination vacuum system to remove surface
contaminants, reduce surface irregularities, and reopen the concrete’s micro-capillaries and pores. The
coating system’s Polyaspartic resins permit the application by brushes, rollers or airless sprayers and can
be completed using teams of two (2) to three (3). Both applicators and customers benefit. Eliminating
the use of expensive dual component spray rigs makes the job more cost effective and easier to perform.
Rapid Return to Use
In both small and large spaces, the preparation and product application can be completed within one (1)
day. Time to re-coat averages less than one (1) hour between coats; the typical installation of all three
coats requires four (4) to five (5) hours, and once completed, full operational use can resume on the
treated surface in under twenty-four (24) hours.
Resistances
HEAT - Unlike many coating systems, extreme heat loads will not compromise the integrity of the
coating’s surface. This feature is especially important to surfaces exposed to the high heat carried by the
tires of vehicles and machinery or the spillage of hot liquids.
CHEMICALS - The coating’s dry film is highly resistant to most chemicals, and even exposure to many
of the most detrimental chemicals will not sacrifice the performance of Eco-Coat 1500.
SOLAR UV - UV radiation tends to excite the molecular structure of coatings causing discoloration,
fading and loss gloss retention; however, Eco-Coat 1500 is an aliphatic coating that demonstrates
excellent UV resistance and color and gloss retention.
Durability
Sustainable construction is at the core of green construction and retrofitting. Eco-Coat 1500 coated
concrete floors have an outstanding level of durability and performance. The superior longevity of Eco-
Coat 1500 is the surest environmentally-friendly and economically sensible investment.
Composition & Zero VOC Off Gassing and Improved Indoor Air Quality
Eco-Protective Products uses bio based ingredients and recycled material in the manufacture and
application of Eco-Coat 1500. Additionally, both concrete products and Eco-Coat 1500 are composed of
Zero VOC materials, thus neither contributing toward the production of ozone nor gradually off-gassing
indoor air pollutants. Lastly, Eco-Coat 1500’s impenetrable, easily cleaned finish prevents moisture
accumulation, inhibiting superficial and subsurface microbial growth.
Hassle Free Maintenance
Cement floors and surfaces coated with Eco-Coat 1500 have extremely low maintenance requirements
and costs. A thorough cleaning involves only a light hosing or mopping with a slight amount of
detergent. In comparison, other surface coatings require buffing, stripping, and reapplication of gloss
coatings to maintain a similar finish, and carpeted floors require energy intensive daily vacuuming and
periodic steam cleaning. Eco-Coat 1500 is stain resistant and impenetrable to most chemical spills,
requiring only a moist rag to clean most commonly spilled contaminants.

Our coating system delivers the most long-term value for the most economically sensible investment.
Q: Can Eco-Cool Roof resist persistent standing water?
A: Although Eco-Cool Roof achieves best results on low-sloped roofs that permit water to drain from
the building’s roof, it is highly resilient to standing water. The polymer strands of the 100% elastomeric
resins that form the base for Platinum Exterior 1000 cure by interlinking virtually creating a woven
mesh of coating that is extremely durable and long-lasting.
Q: Does Eco-Cool Roof help mitigate the Urban Heat Island effect?
A: The EPA defines a Heat Islands as areas that occur on the surface and in the atmosphere. On a hot,
sunny summer day, the sun can heat dry, exposed urban surfaces, such as roofs and pavement, to
temperatures 50–90°F (27–50°C) hotter than the air, while shaded or moist surfaces—often in more rural
surroundings—remain close to air temperatures. Surface urban heat islands are typically present day and
night, but tend to be strongest during the day when the sun is shining.
Eco-Cool Roof 5000 actively prevents buildings from absorbing afternoon solar energy, minimizing the
ambient air temperature above and around the structure, creating cooler temperatures in areas that
surround the building.

Eco-Transport Coating
About Eco-Transport Coating
Eco-Transport Coating is a 100% acrylic elastomeric coating infused with proprietary ceramic micro-
beads. This high flex coating exhibits superior adhesion, weatherability, and solar reflectance providing
an excellent solution for refrigerated trailer tops.
The thermal barrier coating exhibits two important surface properties: a high solar reflectance rating and
an equally high thermal emittance rating. Solar reflectance is the percentage of solar energy that is
reflected by a surface, and thermal emittance refers to the ability of a material to release absorbed heat.
A standard refrigerated trailer roof is made from a sheet of uncoated aluminum covering 2 inches of
polyurethane foam. Although aluminum has a good reflectance rating (.71), it has a low emittance rating
(9%). This is why on hot afternoon the roof temperature on a refrigerated trailer can reach in excess of
185 degrees effectively transforming the roof into a heat sink transferring heat through the insulation and
into the trailer interior.
Coating the roof of a refrigerated trailer with Eco-Transport Coating changes the dynamics of the roof.
With the application of Eco-Transport Coating the reflectivity rating increases to .84 from .71, an 18%
improvement, and the emittance improves significantly to 86% from 9%, an astounding 856%
improvement. After application, the roof temperature on a sunny 90 degree will stay within 5 degrees of
the ambient air temperature, virtually eliminating the roof as a heat source.

19
Q: Are special cleaning techniques necessary to maintain optimal performance?
A: Eco-Transport Coating is exceptionally resistant to mold and mildew growth as well as dirt
accumulation. Often, the coating will “self-clean” from rainwater and ocean spray; however, if operated
in arid climates or in dry seasons, regular pressure washing will ensure the coating maintains optimal
reflectivity and emissivity to ensure maximum energy efficiency.
Q: Will Eco-Transport Coating work on maritime containers as well as over ground freight?
A: Absolutely. Not only will the coating provide enhanced fuel/energy efficiencies and decreased
compressor run-time on the water, it will also generate tremendous energy savings while in port or
shipping yard. Many port cities have passed rigid energy conservation and green house gas emission
laws, and in addition to reducing energy consumption, Eco-Transport Coating also helps to minimize a
port’s carbon footprint and green house gas emissions, helping to make the area cleaner and safer for
workers and residents.
Q: Does the coating still contribute toward energy savings if other containers are stacked on top, and it
isn’t exposed to direct sunlight?
A: Although a container at the bottom of a stack (2-3 containers high) does not receive direct solar
energy, the energy is radiated downward to the bottom containers through the higher ones. Overtime,
this radiated heat will be transferred into the interior of the container forcing the compressor systems to
continually run in order to maintain a constant internal temperature. However, if the containers were
coated with Eco-Transport Coating, instead of the radiated heat transferring into the coating, the highly
thermal emissive qualities of the coating would dissipate the solar energy away from the container.
Q: Is Eco-Transport Coating an eco-friendly product?
A: Eco-Transport Coating is a water-based, Low VOC coating and contains no harmful solvents, only
natural water, so it will not off-gas or contribute to the production of ozone or other air pollutants.
Q: Does Eco-Transport Coating help reduce carbon emissions and air pollution?
A: Reducing diesel fuel is not exclusively a MEANS to financial savings but an END in and of itself.
Reduced fuel consumption carries tremendous benefits to our environment and is a hallmark of a
Socially Responsible. For every Gallon of diesel fuel that is conserved, twenty-two and one half (22.5)
POUNDS of Green House Gases and over 40 known HAZARDOUS AIR POLLUTANTS (According to
the Clean Air Act) are prevented from being emitted into the atmosphere. Imagine the promising future
for our planet that we can engender through intelligent and innovative reductions in fuel consumption.

Bio-Shield work to disrupt the potion gradient on the cell wall thereby starving the microbe. The
reduction in microbial populations contributes to protecting the coating surface from degradation
from molds and mildews and helps prevent the accumulation of odor causing bacteria.
Q: Does Bio-Shield Interior Coating actively reduce MRSA (Methicillin-resistant
Staphylococcus aureus) and other harmful, disease-causing bacteria on the coating?
A: Painting vertical and horizontal surfaces with Bio-Shield will neither prevent the contraction
of bacterial diseases nor is there a direct public health benefit implied through the application of
Bio-Shield. The coating’s antimicrobial agents have been proven in repeated laboratory testing to
effectively protect the coating from the microbial growth and proliferation. In accordance with
EPA guidelines, Bio-Shield’s antimicrobial properties are only for the purpose of protecting the
coating, it is the position of Eco-Protective Products that Bio-Shield does not imply any direct
health benefit.
Q: Will painting with Bio-Shield replace the need for regular cleaning or common hygienic
practices?
