1. What is econiclay - a 0-to-1 fundamental material innovation?
Econiclay is an innovative inorganic powder activation technology material made from inorganic solid waste such as soil, stone scraps and non-metallic tailings. After these raw materials are collected, sorted and ground into fine powder, they are modified at low temperature with specific surfactants to form an active inorganic powder with a multi-layer network structure that encapsulates the active ingredients. This material is internationally recognized as "Econiclay", while the Chinese industry standard names it "Modified Inorganic Powder (MCM)" - a representative ecological and environmental material. Econiclay can be hybridized with a wide range of polymer materials to create organic-inorganic hybrid ecological and environmental materials suitable for building materials, auto parts, machine casings, leather materials and other fields, making it an ideal substitute for plastic products. Its main advantages come from inorganic properties such as flexibility, low thermoplasticity, Class A fire rating (or Class A fire classification) and sustainability. Low thermoplasticity reduces production energy consumption, improves processing efficiency and enhances material recyclability. The Class A fire rating ensures stability under extreme conditions, effectively resists fire risk, and guarantees safety in buildings, transportation, home appliances and other fields.

8. What is MC Technology?
Through MC technology, a mixture of natural inorganic raw materials such as soil, sand, stone powder and ash undergoes a spray-mixing process and is transformed into a modified inorganic material encapsulated with an active surface coating.
The resulting modified inorganic material can be formed into composite materials of various shapes - thin sheets, boards and blocks - through the control of heating curves and photochemical isomerization technology.
Thanks to our innovation and breakthrough progress, inorganic clay can now be cured, unfired, into any shape or profile in the same way as organic plastics.
Our technological progress has enabled the successful launch of the MCM decorative material product family, reducing carbon dioxide emissions by 80% compared with traditional decorative materials. Recycling and reuse are infinitely possible.
The potential of MC (Modified Clay) is infinite. It replaces concrete, tar and bitumen in built roads. It replaces plastic, resin, cement and wood to produce flat boards, customized shapes, rolls and even art displays - infinite possibilities for countless industries.
9. What are the advantages of the product?
BreathableBy allowing buildings to breathe freely, it creates an eco-friendly and healthier living environment.
Odorless & Moisture ResistantWith anti-mildew, moisture-resistant and hygroscopic properties, it is ideal for dealing with high-humidity climates.
Class A Fire Rating ComplianceIt meets the national Class A1 fire rating standard for flexible materials.
Great ExpressivenessThe amazing appearance and quality of MCM products, created from the inherent colour blends of modified clay, can reproduce the unique features and characteristics of natural stone, wood, brick, metal and leather. Only creativity is the limit.
Self-Cleaning & Anti-Stain Thanks to its neutral properties, dust does not adhere to the surface and is washed off by rain.
Freeze-Thaw ResistanceAfter more than 100 freeze-thaw cycles, there is no powdering, cracking or scaling of the surface.
DurableIt has passed a 4,000-hour accelerated ageing test, equivalent to a 50-year outdoor service life.
Water, Acid and Alkali ResistantIt does not deform or get damaged even when immersed in water, acid or alkali solutions.
Recyclable Keep it away from landfill: it can be recycled and reused, or returned as ordinary soil for cultivation.
Thin and LightEach piece is only 2-4mm thick and weighs just a few kg/㎡, so it is easy to install and can be firmly fixed with minimal adhesive, greatly saving on transport costs.
Flexible and BendableIt can withstand lateral tensile and cracking forces. It also provides extra edge coverage when applied to joints between separate panels or to the wrap-over of columns.
