Graphenstone

What Makes Graphenstone Different?

Graphenstone are committed to the environment through the production of natural materials.
Among their values they prioritise ecology sustainability and respect for the environment with products that comply with the principles of circular economy.

Graphenstone's mission is to innovate and create products that are ecological natural and respectful of people's health and the environment. They aim to provide the best solution to paint and protect your home or business.

Graphenstone Certifications

Graphenstone paints have numerous certifications and are the world's most certified green brand.

The pandemic of the last few years has highlighted the need for improved health standards around the world. Graphenstone ambient primer Graphenstone PrimerPlus is the world's first paint to be certified against the coronavirus SARS CoV 2. In addition, Graphenstone have created the "Graphenstone Protection Seal" in order to guarantee the maximum protection of establishments through the application of their paints. The protection of surfaces covered by paint will be critical to ensure health standards are met. In this regard Graphenstone is the solution endorsed by international laboratories.

Furthermore, Graphenstone also have the following certifications: C2C Health GOLD, GreenTag Health GOLD and Sensitive Choice Blue Butterfly, which makes their paint especially suitable for people suffering from respiratory problems such as asthma or allergy.

What is the difference between Graphenstone paint and modern synthetic paints?

Synthetic paints are formed with aqueous emulsions of resins or plastic materials and use petroleum-based materials in their composition. During their application and drying process, these paints give off VOC's and formaldehyde, all of which are carcinogenic substances. In addition, synthetic paints are not permeable. Therefore, they promote the formation of condensation and mould.

At Graphenstone they formulate their products based on lime. Lime is a natural and organic product, free of VOC's and formaldehyde, breathable and with a high pH, which prevents the appearance of mould and fungus.

How are Graphenstone coatings different from a synthetic paint?

Graphenstone differs from synthetic paints in water vapour permeability. Thanks to this property, the paint avoids the accumulation of dampness in the building. These damp areas degrade the paint in the form of blistering and breakage impacting in the aesthetics of the building. High breathability and high pH helps to naturally prevent the growth of fungi, bacteria and moulds. All of which cause allergies and respiratory problems for people's health.

Also, due to its mineral character, it is resistant to fire, inert to the environment and can be reused.

Graphenstone lime-based products absorb CO2 from the air during the drying process. Specifically, three 15L pots absorb 14.40 kg of CO2, that is the same amount as an adult tree during one year!

In addition, it has a high degree of solar reflectance and thermal emittance, due to the high quality of lime. These two factors contribute to energy efficiency.

How does Graphenstone differ from other lime based paints?

The lime used in Graphenstone paints and coatings is produced in millennial wood ovens, avoiding the burning of fuels and other chemicals. In addition, they do not add products that alter their properties, such as their purity and high whiteness.

How is Graphenstone different from other mineral paints?

Graphenstone differs from other mineral paints mainly in its advanced improvement in adhesion, washability, flexibility, durability and performance. This is all this thanks to the incorporation of graphene technology. Therefore, you get the same properties as a plastic paint in a natural paint.

In addition, it has a high degree of solar reflectance and thermal emittance. This is due to the high quality of the lime. Both these factors contribute to energy efficiency.

What is the graphene technology included in Graphenstone products?

Graphene is considered the gold of the future. This material, composed of pure carbon, is 200 times stronger than structural steel. It is also 1,000 times more conductive than copper. Currently, the use of graphene is found in many industries, such as electronics, medicine and, of course, paints.

What does graphene technology bring to Graphenstone products?

Traditional lime paints have problems of strength, cracking and durability. On the other hand, lime mortars require a longer setting than the construction requires today. These facts make it clear that natural lime products require an additive to strengthen it.

Graphene acts as a structural support at the molecular level. Thanks to graphene we obtain a natural product that:

• Is washable: natural paints can not be washed.
• Provides flexibility: it does not crack, and it is possible, for the first time, to use a roller for natural paints without resin, being easy to apply.
• Improves adhesion on many substrates: physical-chemical adhesion improves performance, durability and application. Natural lime paints mainly have adhesion on lime mortars.
• Has thermal conductivity: it minimizes the thermal gradient and is more stable under extreme climatic conditions

Does its condition as a natural product affect its strength or longevity?

Lime has been widely used in the past for decoration of interior and exterior walls, but after the appearance of plastic paints, they were replaced by these, which showed greater resistance.

Adding graphene to the formula has improved the properties of lime, increasing its durability. This is why Graphenstone offers a product guarantee of 5 years. This is if application is by official Graphenstone applicators and according to Technical Department guidelines.

What does it mean that Graphenstone paint absorbs CO₂?

Graphenstone products are made with a base of artisanal lime paste extracted following the traditional method. During the process of carbonation, which occurs after the application when the paint dries, the lime absorbs CO2 (the majority in the first 30 days of curing), improving the quality of the air.

Specifically, three 15L pots of Graphenstone paint absorbs 14.40kg of CO2, which is the same amount as an adult tree during a whole year!

Being natural, is it suitable for people with chemical hyper-sensibility?

Aware of the importance of our environment and the health of people, Graphenstone products are completely natural. They also do not contain toxic substances or odours. For all this, their paints and coatings have a series of certifications, such as C2C Health GOLD, GreenTag Health GOLD and Sensitive Choice Blue Butterfly, which prove that they are especially suitable for people suffering from respiratory problems such as asthma or allergy and chemical intolerance.

Graphenstone products contribute to the decontamination of cities, but what type of contamination do they refer to?

Graphenstone has a photocatalytic paint, AmbientPro + Premium, which decomposes organic compounds and inorganic gases, eliminating air pollution. On the other hand, Graphenstone Proshield Premium is a conductive paint for protection against high and low frequency radiation around us.

How does Graphenstone help you save energy?

Graphenstone lime based products are energy efficient due to its Solar Reflectance Index (SRI).

What is the relationship between quality and price of these products? Are they more expensive than the rest of the paints in the stores?

Graphenstone paints are no more expensive than others currently on the market. Thanks to the graphene technology and the high quality of the material used, Graphenstone paints offer a great coverage and performance, needing fewer layers and, therefore, less paint, to cover a wall completely.
