Biography
Richard K. Irwin is a President of this company. Rick started in the industrial coatings business, gaining a significant understanding of the interactions between various structural substrates and protective agents. His initial forays were into technologies for protecting urban structures from graffiti. This lead to the development of products for shielding concrete and other materials from potentially hazardous algae growth. Securing contracts from such high-profile clients as Walt Disney World, Irwin leveraged these early successes toward the acquisition of US distribution rights to products such as Hydretain. As the driving force behind Ecologel, Irwin is a tireless evangelist for the causes of water conservation and drought awareness.
