Paul Flick on Environmentally Friendly Graphene Paint

(Newswire.net — June 6, 2017) Charlottesville, Virginia –Across the country, homeowners are seeking ways of reducing utility expenses and lowering the carbon footprint of their homes. Paul Flick, founder and CEO of Premium Service Brands, knows that there is a new paint product that may offer a solution. Paul’s company is the franchising expert behind home services company 360° Painting. That new paint solution is an exterior paint coating that contains graphene, a “miracle material” that is an allotrope of carbon. Developed and manufactured by the Spanish firm Graphenstone, the addition of graphene and its hexagonal lattice structure brings new properties to paint finishes. “The new graphene paint offers a wide range of benefits to homeowners and painting contractors alike,” says Paul. “It is truly a revolutionary product.” To learn more about Paul, visit here.

Graphenstone’s paint starts with an eco-friendly pure lime base sourced from deposits in Spain. The lime material naturally absorbs carbon dioxide from the air as well as providing the paint with natural anti-mold effects, which reduce the need for maintenance.The graphene fibers in the paint give the coating greater toughness and flexibility, which are both important for long-term performance on home surfaces inside and out. Its most exciting property, however, is its thermal conductivity. Graphene is the most thermally-conductive substance on the planet, and is over 1000 times more conductive than copper. This superconductive property allows the paint to improve thermal regulation in buildings that use the coating. On interior surfaces, the paint slows the transfer of heat through the walls. The graphene absorbs the heat, enhancing insulation levels while reducing the need for additional heating and cooling. By reducing energy expenses associated with heating and cooling the home, homeowners will see lower utility bills. The lower energy use also reduces harmful environmental emissions like carbon dioxide.   

The graphene-laced paint goes on smoothly and cures over a period of days. No harmful fumes are emitted during the application and curing process, which is an added bonus for residents with respiratory issues like asthma. “The properties of this graphene paint truly change the way we think about building coating products,” adds Paul Flick. “Painting contractors are adopting innovative paints like these to help homeowners save money and reduce electricity use.” For more information about Paul and his two decades of franchising experience, visit https://www.houzz.com/pro/paulflick123/paul-flick
