DEFINING GREEN

When hearing the term green, many individuals think of how they can minimize their impact on the earth. In other words, they are seeking to live, breathe and build with minimal harm to the environment.


ENVIRONMENTALLY SAFE

One of the many advantages of using the RetroPlate System is that it is environmentally safe. It is:

  • Water-based
  • Odorless
  • Non-flammable
  • No VOCs, solvents, toxic ingrediant
  • No VOCs
  • No toxic ingredients
  • No harmful vapors
  • Requires no protective clothing
  • No breathing apparatus

If an existing coating is removed in preparation for the RetroPlate System, we recommend using a wet grinding process, which bypasses the need for stripping with acids and other strong chemicals. In every step of the RetroPlate System, an environmentally safe approach is taken.


NATURAL PROCESS

In every step of the RetroPlate process, an environmentally safe approach is taken. When utilized, a formulation of water and naturally occurring materials to strengthen the concrete is used. By refurbishing existing concrete, you are recycling, saving energy, and limiting landfill contributions.


NATURAL PRODUCT

The RetroPlate System is a water-based, sodium silicate product that works by chemically interacting with the calcium hydroxide in the cement componenet of concrete. We are not creating a topical floor covering, nor are we creating a flooring product that will require extensive maintenance, stripping, ongoing topical treatments or future disposal in a landfill. We are simply utilizing natural products to enhance the performance of other natural products, and we do it in a safe, environmentally friendly, cost-efficient way.


NATURAL ANSWER

Corporations, retailers, school districts, healthcare facilities, architects and facility managers are all looking at ways to lower costs, both to their operation and to the environment. What the RetroPlate System provides has minimal or no environmental impact, and these individuals are finding out that building green is not only good for the planet, but also for business and public perception. Once a project has committed to being green, it is natural for the RetroPlate System to be considered. It is natural, the process is natural, and the maintenance process utilizes water and another, highly recommended green product, CreteClean Plus with Scar Guard
