  1. Ecotone Surfaces • Finally! A Truly Green Product for Cast Polymer, Solid Surface • Post-Consumer Recycled Glass & Renewable Resources • May Be Used with or without Gel Coat • Assists Commercial Builders in LEED® Material and Resource Credits 5.1 and 5.2 • Recent Enhancements • Decrease warping • Improved particle suspension • Improved air release • Improved product flow

  2. Ecotone’s Two Green Options • Recycled versus Renewable Materials • Recycled Content • Post-Consumer • Ecotone uses post-consumer glass • Renewable Content • Made by nature, not in a lab • Ecotone uses post-industrial organic materials in: American Harvest,Nuts About You, and Grown in the USA

  3. Ecotone Surfaces – Colors

  4. Ecotone Surfaces Versatility • Ecotone Used in Undiluted Form or Mixed with Other Products • Mix with Terra Bella, Artistone, and more • Add pigment to colors for custom hues • Experiment to Find Unique System

  5. Ecotone Applications • Variety of Surface Applications Including: • Cast polymer behind gel coat • Vanity decks, vessel bowls, wall panels, tub surrounds, table tops, and other surface designs • Solid surface without gel coat • Any surface that does not allow for gel coat such as kitchen counters, bar counters, table tops and more!

  6. Ecotone in Cast Polymer • Applications with Gel Coat • Addition of bonding agent will create a more durable part • Ecotone passes thermal shock tests* only when bonding agent used • Air release recommended • Organic colors not recommended for areas where water will stand, even with gel coat *Tests performed by Universal Laboratories

  7. Ecotone in Solid Surface • Application without Gel Coat • Bonding agent and air release recommended in such applications • Use of diamond paper for sanding • Sealing surface to fill potential air holes with sealing putty followed by light sanding (220, 300 grit), repeat as necessary

  8. Ecotone Surfaces Product Generals • Eleven Colors Available • Ships in 50 Pound Bags • Uses Typical Cast Polymer Casting Tools • Resin Demands Varies by Color, See Tech Sheet • All Resins Are Different • Resins vary by viscosity, promotion, color, and more; each shop may produce a different look • Colors with bonding agent are more opaque, colors without have fractured look

  9. Ecotone Surfaces • Considerations Before Casting • Flows slower than a typical marble matrix • Requires vibration • Air release is highly recommended • Mechanical movement of matrix on mold may be necessary, consider cement tools for moving matrix • Glass can scratch surfaces – use caution when gel coast is not used
