About ecosparc
®
Ecosparc is not a paint.
Ecosparc is a graphene-based additive which, when added in tiny amounts, supercharges coatings currently used to protect steel assets from corrosion.
For asset owners, the advantages of utilising an ecosparc enhanced coating are the direct result of extending the time between maintenance and recoating events, which corresponds to cost, emissions, productivity and safety benefits.
Ecosparc is the flagship graphene-based additive product developed by Sparc Technologies.

Product and technical information
Data sheets and technical information for the application of ecosparc
Ecosparc is a revolutionary graphene-based additive developed by Sparc Technologies on the back of >6 years of research, >10,000 data points and eight rounds of cyclic corrosion testing to ISO standards. When added in very low volumes to existing epoxy-based protective coatings at the point of manufacture, ecosparc substantially improves both durability and corrosion resistance. Sparc is able to deliver commercial volumes of ecosparc from its Australian manufacturing facility.
Choose ecosparc to better protect steel assets from corrosion and deliver substantial cost, emissions, productivity and safety benefits.
ecosparc FAQ's
-
What is ecosparc?Ecosparc is proven to make epoxy-based protective coatings stronger and more flexible without any detrimental impacts on other important coating properties. It does this through the action of graphene, a carbon-based supermaterial with a variety of extraordinary properties including strength, conductivity, flexibility, and surface area to weight ratio. Through over 6 years of research & development, Sparc Technologies has harnessed the power of graphene into a market-leading additive for epoxy-based protective coatings. Utilising Ecosparc enhanced coatings on your steel assets will reduce maintenance events delivering substantial cost, emissions, productivity and safety benefits.
-
What does ecosparc do?Ecosparc plays a crucial role in preserving and fortifying steel structures by extending the time between maintenance events. The key benefits of Ecosparc include substantial cost savings and reduced carbon emissions associated with asset maintenance. By incorporating Ecosparc into conventional coatings, you can expect up to 25% savings in re-coatable steel maintenance costs, as well as an 18-21% reduction in carbon emissions. Thus, it simplifies infrastructure maintenance by requiring fewer onsite checkups, reducing asset downtime, increasing productivity, and minimising maintenance events.
-
What certifications does ecosparc have?Our product testing has been conducted to meet full ISO standards, ensuring quality and reliability over a period of 5+ years. Sparc has engaged an independent life cycle assessment (LCA) firm to compare cost and emissions of ecosparc-enhanced coatings with existing coatings on steel infrastructure. A link to a summary of the assessment can be found here.
