NEW COATINGS TECHNOLOGY

The continual process of research and development into coatings raw materials is giving formulators better options to meet the needs of a time and cost driven construction industry; whilst at the same time also improving the application, durabilty and aesthetic qualities of the latest generation of coatings and systems. Proprietary formulations using these improved raw materials allow for rapid recoat times even in the cold winter climates, with some formulations allowing topcoating in 2 hours at 2˚C. Local formulations of finish coats deliver the best colour and gloss retention in New Zealand’s harsh UV environment. Costs are maintained or improved through the use of high solids formulations which have better (higher) spreading rates.
