Last year was a great year for the coatings industry! Major manufacturers listened to their customers and teamed up to create new products based on the feedback they’ve been given by the people who work with the materials day in and day out, and it shows.
PPG Paints’ Coatings
PPG announced their breakthrough Int/Ext Waterborne Acrylic Paint, which consists of a special technology that gives excellent hardness, adhesion, and block resistance to a variety of commercial and residential surfaces, like trim, floors, cabinets, shelving, railings, and equipment. It also works on metal, concrete, wood, laminate, fiberglass, and many plastics. Plus, it dries super fast—just two hours for a recoat and 17–20 minutes dry to touch.
PPG released another coating called Olympic Maximum Stain + Sealant in One. This was enhanced with Weather-Ready technology that enables stain projects to take place despite unpredictable weather conditions. It can even be applied to damp wood 8–12 hours after rain.
Glidden Diamond Paint + Primer creates a smooth, breathtaking finish with super-tough durability that withstands wear and tear. You can achieve great quality and performance at an affordable price with this interior paint and primer in one.
Rust-Oleum’s Coatings
Rust-Oleum has also put forth some brand-new products to rave about, including Zinsser Odor Killing Primer. While applying white, it dries clear. This water-based, low-odor primer eliminates existing odors on interior surfaces, working wonderfully for eliminating pet odors, fire and smoke damage, as well as food and cigarette smoke odors. Best of all, it’s compatible with all topcoats and paints.
Designed with elastomeric qualities, Zinsser WaterTite Flexible Primer and Finish can expand and contract to fill hairline cracks. This is ideal for use on existing and new exterior masonry and concrete, including brick and stucco. It features a 10-year durability guarantee and is moisture- and mildew-resistant.
Sherwin-Williams’ Coatings
Sherwin-Williams offers some top-of-the-line coatings themselves, Paint Shield Interior Latex Paint being one of them. This is one of their most innovative products because it is the first EPA-registered microbicidal paint, killing 99.9% of Staph, VRE, MRSA, E. coli, and Enterobacter aerogenes within two hours of exposure on the painted surface.
SnapDry Int/Ext Acrylic Latex Paint was created for trim and doors to dry in just one hour so a door can be closed without sticking. Its resistance to fingerprints, dirt, weathering, and UV rays makes it ideal for jobs with a tight timeline.
