Why Choose EconiClay
1 . Cost Savings and Ease of Installation
-
Thin and Light - With a thickness range of 2-4 mm and weighing just 3-6 kg/m². EconiClay panels can be easily handled with minimal labor and securely affixed with minimal adhesive. This translates into great savings on installation and transportation costs.
-
Flexible and Curvable - EconiClay can withstand lateral pulls and cracking forces, therefore enabling easy application over joints between separate panels or wrap-over round columns.
2 . Fire and Weather Resistant
-
Class A Fireproof - EconiClay is compliant with A1 Class Fireproof standard.
-
UV Resistant - Using 1500h UV test, EconiClay showed a grey scale rating of 4-5 and a Delta E rating of 1.8.
-
Freeze-Thaw Resistant - EconiClay showed no appearance of surface powderising, cracks or scaling after more than 100 freeze-thaw cycles.
-
Water, Acid and Alkaline Resistant - EconiClay is not deformed or damaged when immersed in water, acid or alkali solutions.
-
Odorless and Moisture Resistant - With its mould-resistant, damp-resistance & moisture absorbing characteristics, EconiClay is a great option for high humidity climates.
3 . Durable and Low Maintenance
-
Durable - EconiClay can withstand 4000h aging accelerated test that is equivalent to outdoor life expectancy of 50 years.
-
Scrub Resistant - EconiClay displayed no substrate exposure after 4000 cycles
-
Self-Cleaning and Stain-Resistant - With its neutral properties, dust and stain do not cling onto EconiClay surface and can easily be washed down with rain or water spray.
4 . Promotes Health and Sustainability
-
Non-Toxic - No harmful chemicals or volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are ever used in the production of EconiClay products. The clay’s natural colors are used whenever possible. EconiClay is 100% biodegradable and recyclable.
-
Antiviral - Tested to ISO 21702 standard, EconiClay demonstrated an R-value of 2.16 after 12 hours, indicating a 99% reduction in viral activity and confirming EconiClay's efficacy in reducing surface-borne viruses.
-
Low Thermoplasticity and Near-Zero Carbon Emission - EconiClay raw material does not require high heat to soften or reshape. It undergoes low-temperature modification using surfactants, avoiding energy-intensive melting or firing processes. This results in up to 80% lower carbon footprint compared to conventional material. Greenhouse gas emission in the life cycle of 1 kg of EconiClay product (from cradle to grave) is 0.26 kgCO2e.
-
Sustainable and Recyclable - EconiClay does not rely on thermoplasticity, therefore it can be recycled and reused infinitely without degrading its structure. EconiClay can be recycled and reused, or revert back to ordinary clay.
-
Breathable - EconiClay acts as a skin layer for building surfaces. It keeps out water but still allows the building to breath freely, thereby achieving an ecological and healthier living environment.
