About Ecosparc
Ecosparc is not a paint.
Ecosparc, when added in tiny amounts, supercharges coatings currently used to protect steel assets from corrosion.
​
The benefits of Ecosparc including cost and emissions savings are the direct result of Ecosparc extending the time between maintenance events by 18-21%.
Ecosparc is the flagship product of Sparc Technologies (ASX:SPN). Sparc is pioneering new technologies in coatings and composites, green hydrogen and sodium-ion batteries to help deliver a more sustainable world.

The Dual Anti-Corrosion Mechanism
Corrosion generally commences when a protective coating has been damaged. e.g. cracking.
ecosparc enhanced coatings:
Delay coating cracking. This delays the onset of corrosion.
When damage does finally occur, ecosparc further limits corrosion spread by >25%.
Significantly increasing the time between maintenance events.
