More than a distributor of the best coatings technology featuring DuPont products, we are the specialists for industrial, commercial and architectural paints and finishes. PAINTS & COATINGS BASICS Paint generally refers to material used for decorative or aesthetic purposes while coating implies a performance or protective function. Because of these performance characteristics, coatings are frequently applied with a prime coat and a topcoat or prime coat, mid cot and topcoat. Each part of the coating performs a function. POLYURETHANES Polyurethanes are among the most versatile coatings types. They can be architectural coatings, product finishes and maintenance coatings. They offer any gloss level, durability and both solvent and UV resistance that lends to both excellent graffiti removal

EPOXIES In response to the need for greater resistance to the environment, epoxy resins were developed into protective coatings. Epoxy mastic coatings offer high build in fewer coats, environmental compliance due to low solvent content, and inherent surface tolerance requiring less-intensive and costly surface preparation prior to application. Epoxies afford flexibility, barrier protection and excellent adhesion. They can carry high concentrations of performance pigments that will inhibit rust or other deterioration of the surface. When gloss, durability and UV resistance are desired, polyurethanes are used as a topcoat over an epoxy primer which offers the best of both systems.

steel structures. Alkyd coatings are slow drying by oxidatin but give excellent protection to the environment. Alkyd tank coatings often last indefinitely when maintained with periodic top coating. Alkyds were considered to be low cost materials with moderate performance when compared with newer materials. However, newer alkyd formulations have been developed to offer better drying and compliance with VOC regulations. However, alkyd formulations have been developed to offer better drying and compliance with VOC regulations. ACRYLICS Acrylic latex coatings are materials where the resin is dispersed in water to form an emulsion. They have high vapor transmission rates which is an asset for coatings that protect wood or concrete; but in materials such as steel, it is a liability which requires use of anti-corrosive pigments. They can be used in mild to moderate environments or as a a topcoat for alkyd coatings.

Tufcote 2.5 PR High Solids Fast Dry Alkyd ZINC RICH COATINGS Zinc rich primers are the foundation for high performance protective coating systems. Zinc protects steel through an electrochemical process called galvanic protection. When zinc and steel are in contact with one another, the zinc corrodes preventing the steel from corroding. For the galvanic process to work, a coating must contain a sufficient quantity of zinc to assure intimate contact with the steel substrate. Since the dried film is 8590% zinc, other coatings are applied to enhance durability. Zinc rich coatings can be organic or inorganic, but organic coatings are generally easier to both apply and overcoat.
