Elval Colour, the coating leader with the solution for building sustainability and green materials
Α sustainable building envelope results in significant reduction of the primary energy consumption of a building for heating, cooling and maintenance, while contributes to improved appearance and longevity of the façade and/or roof. Elval Colour has developed a series of new products that are dedicated to the improvement of the environmental performance of buildings, increase the sustainability of building facades and roofing, and reduce their impact on the environment.
Elval Colour’s aluminium composite panel
etalbond® and
orofe® coated aluminium strips for roofing applications, can be coated in any colour to satisfy the most demanding aesthetic requirements together with several options of special functional coatings, each having an invaluable contribution to sustainable green building design.
Elval Colour
arypon®: a protective coating that deters dust and pollution particles from adhering on the coated surface. A hydrophilic surface that assists the removal of dirt particles naturally with rainwater or soft wiping. A building façade or roof coated with
arypon® can practically “clean itself” minimizing the need for professional cleaning as well as the use of aggressive cleaners, by protecting the environment and minimizing maintenance requirements. In addition, as a third layer,
arypon® can increase the durability of the coating and extend lifecycle of the product.
Elval Colour
agraphon®: a transparent coating that uses nanotechnology to stop graffiti paint from sticking to the façade surface. With
agraphon®, graffiti paint can be easily removed without using resource consuming solutions such as water-jet blasting, or the need to replace the original surface and problems such as ghosting and shadowing.
agraphon® covered surfaces do not require the use of hazardous removers, have excellent weather resistance and are easy to clean and maintain thus, providing an environmental friendly and cost efficient solution. This minimizes the wear of the coating and improves the lifecycle of the product.
High reflectivity coatings: a special coating that reflects up to 84% of the solar radiation from a surface that is used in roofing and façade applications. When heat is reflected away from buildings, positive contributions to the environment, tenants and the building are achieved. Better internal ambient conditions, lower energy consumption for heating, ventilation and air-conditioning, plus a reduction to the urban heat island effect to name a few. Finally, the life expectancy of the roof itself increases due to less expansion and contraction.
Architects and designers today aim to create energy efficient and sustainable buildings. To this problem, Elval Colour provides with
etalbond® and
orofe® and with special functional coatings a perfect solution for a Green Building. Environmental Product Declarations are available for all products, confirming the focus of the company on delivering sustainable material and leadership in green building material and innovation, by understanding market needs, committing to technological prowess and continuous improvement of processes and products.
RECYCLABILITY
Elval Colour uses controlled processes with a focus on energy consumption, emission control, resource usage and environmental impact
How does etalbond® contributes to sustainability?
- 100% post-consumer recycled content for the core
- 96.6% post-industrial recycled content of the aluminium
- 100% recyclable product
- 96.3% to 99.3% of recycled materials can be completely returned to the material cycle
- No water is used for the production process
- A significant percentage of the energy used for the lamination process is produced from the photovoltaic plant installed on the factory roof.
- All coatings used on etalbond® are REACH and RoHS compliant and no heavy metals are used for their pigmentation
- During the coil coating process the evaporated solvents are burned in order not to exit the environment and their heat from burning is used for the paint curing and solvent evaporation, resulting in the minimum amount of energy consumption
- The continuous nature of the coil coating process and the efficiency of roller coating means that waste is very much reduced and wastage of paint is virtually eliminated, with most potential waste being re-used in paint formulation.
- Water used in processes is 100% re-utilized resulting in no water wastage
The philosophy behind our sustainable solutions
23 centuries ago Aristotle, the leading Greek philosopher and scientist, said that a society should apply the ‘virtuous governance’ in order to achieve self-sufficiency and quality of life for its citizens.
What we now call Sustainability!
At Elval Colour we draw inspiration from Aristotle’s ethics and we contribute to self-sufficiency. We love life, humanity, our work and Colour.
We act for
- The Environment
- The Society
- The Economy
At Elval Colour we respect the Earth, our Home.
