Eco-Friendly Products

BrickImaging’s Stayntech® process proudly utilizes eco-friendly products. Our brick staining solutions are acrylic, water-based materials with low VOC ratings and can be disposed of with minimal effort. 

It’s not a paint, it’s a stain!

Most prepping materials are also either recyclable and/or reusable to help conserve our planet’s resources.

Water Based Brick Staining

Water Based and eco-friendly brick staining refers to applying color to bricks using environmentally safe materials. The benefits include reduced environmental impact, improved air quality due to low VOCs, and often a longer lifespan for the stain compared to traditional paints.

Application in Restoration and Renovation: This method is particularly popular in building restoration and renovation projects where maintaining environmental integrity is crucial.

Understanding Low VOC Stains

  • VOCs and Their Impact: Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) are chemicals that evaporate at room temperature and can cause air pollution and health issues. Low VOC stains minimize these risks.
  • Comparison with Traditional Stains: Traditional stains often contain higher levels of VOCs, leading to stronger odors and potential health hazards.

Sustainability in Building Materials

  • Recyclable and Reusable Materials: Using recyclable and reusable materials in the staining process reduces waste and conserves natural resources.
  • Life Cycle Analysis: Assessing the environmental impact of building materials from production to disposal helps understand a product’s true eco-friendliness.

The Role of Acrylic in Eco-Friendly Stains

  • Properties of Acrylic Stains: Acrylic stains are water-based, making them less toxic and easier to clean up. They also adhere well to brick surfaces and are resistant to fading.
  • Environmental Benefits: These stains contribute to a safer environment both during application and over the lifespan of the stained surface.

Industry Trends and Consumer Demand

  • Growing Demand for Eco-Friendly Solutions: There is an increasing consumer demand for environmentally responsible products in the construction and home renovation industries.
  • Innovation in Eco-Friendly Staining: Companies are continually innovating to create more effective and sustainable staining products.
