- PRODUCTS AND MATERIALS
As sustainability and performance become the new design imperative, ECORK by Eco Infra Products LLP redefines how we build and protect our exteriors. Developed using 100% natural cork, ECORK is a projected cork coating that combines thermal efficiency, water resistance, acoustic insulation, and environmental responsibility—delivering exceptional performance in even the harshest weather conditions. This next-generation exterior coating is not only a step towards greener architecture but also a smart, multi-functional solution for façades, roofs, tanks, ducting, and more.
What is ECORK? A Natural Innovation: ECORK is a spray-applied cork-based insulation coating designed for exterior surfaces. Its composition—natural cork granules blended into an emulsion—results in a breathable, flexible, and durable barrier that resists water, heat, noise, and cracking. Its primary strength lies in its thermal resistance. With a low thermal conductivity of 0.075 W/m·°C, it performs significantly better than wood or concrete in reducing heat transfer. It acts as a cold-heat barrier, stabilising internal temperatures, reducing energy consumption, and enhancing occupant comfort.
Diverse Exterior Applications
Engineered for Versatility, ECORK can be applied to a wide range of exterior surfaces including:
- Façades & Exterior Walls: Decorative yet protective, available in Fine, Classic, and Rustic textures.
- Roof Rehabilitation: Encapsulates asbestos and other materials, offering a new finish without demolition.
- Industrial Tanks & Silos: Adds a thermal shield that resists temperature fluctuations.
- Camper Vans, Metal Doors & Ducts: Acts as an insulation barrier on mobile or metallic structures.
- Foundations & Prefabricated Concrete: Reduces thermal bridges and improves energy efficiency.
Whether it’s retrofitting an old roof or sealing tricky metal junctions, ECORK delivers performance with aesthetics—ensuring durability while enhancing the structure’s outer appeal.
How It Works: Simple Yet Smart Application
ECORK is supplied in 10kg packs and can be easily applied using a spray gun, compressor, and professional mixer. It’s applied in three layers, each contributing to the product’s unique performance characteristics. With strong adhesion across substrates like mortar, metal, wood, PVC, and fibre cement, it’s a go-to solution for architects and contractors aiming for a low-carbon, low-maintenance exterior finish.
A Look Inside The Collection: The ECORK collection ranges from soft beiges to deep, natural browns, each pattern echoing cork’s organic character. Whether your aesthetic leans minimal or earthy, ECORK integrates effortlessly with diverse materials and themes—be it wood, stone, or metal.
The Eco Infra Commitment: Eco Infra Products LLP stands at the forefront of sustainable construction materials in India. With decades of expertise and global partnerships, the brand is committed to reshaping how we build—with products that protect buildings and the planet. Their strategic collaboration with Kilnher Group (Spain) further ensures world-class innovation in the Indian context.
Final Thought: For architects, builders, and homeowners seeking an exterior insulation and coating system that’s beautiful, durable, and sustainable—ECORK offers it all. It’s not just a product; it’s a philosophy—a commitment to building smarter, greener, and more resilient structures.
Why ECORK is Perfect for Exteriors?
From rooftops to façades, ECORK provides exterior surfaces with a protective and sustainable finish. Here’s what makes it ideal for outdoor use:
- High Thermal Insulation: Minimises heat gain or loss, saving up to 40% in energy costs.
- Water Vapour Permeability: Allows walls to breathe, preventing condensation, dampness, and mould.
- Crack Resistance: Thanks to its elasticity, ECORK absorbs structural stresses and avoids micro-cracks.
- UV & Weathering Resistant: Withstands prolonged exposure to sunlight and environmental stress—tested for 3,200 hours of artificial weathering.
- Anti-Condensation Properties: Particularly effective on metal sheet roofing, tanks, silos, and air-conditioning ducts.
- Sound Absorption: Reduces impact and airborne noise for quieter buildings.
- Eco-Friendly Composition: VOC-free, LEED and GRIHA-endorsed, and made from recycled materials.
