The stadium Metropolitanhome of Atlético de Madrid, It is one of the best in Europe, one of the most comfortable to see and one of the facilities where many things were thought of when carrying out the project. Among them, environmental protection and sustainability are also respected when improving the facilities.
The repainting work of Metropolitan it’s almost over. For this purpose, “an innovative technology is used, one hundred percent Spanish, based on the principles of sustainability and energy efficiency” that characterizes the red and white facility.
Let’s remember that the Metropolitansince its premiere, has used various mechanisms in pursuit of environmental protection and carbon footprint reduction.
The work is carried out by members of the company Graphenestonebelonging to the group Civitaswhich named rojiblanco stadium as the main sponsor.
“The lime-based Graphenstone coatings and graphene fibers used in this process – a total of 12,000 liters of paint to repaint 70,000 m² of Cívitas Metropolitan– absorbs 4,100 kg of water during drying CO2, “The same amount that is absorbed by the forest of 70,000 trees in a day,” explains the mattress team. The stadium will contribute to improving air quality around M-40, one of the main ring road highways Madrid where thousands of vehicles pass every day.
This absorption of CO2 occurs through a stoichiometric reaction that takes place during the drying of the paint, where the lime reacts with the carbon dioxide in the air, turning it into calcium carbonate. That is, it is converted back to limestone in a process known as ‘the lime cycle’. In addition, lime works as a natural preservative that protects against the growth of fungi and algae. Also, the composition of the Graphenstone paint prevents the surface from cracking or peeling, contributes to energy savings thanks to the excellent reflective power and mineral properties of the graphene fibers, in addition to the reduction of sound .
