ZINSSER INTRODUCES OKON GRAFFITI BARRIER COAT
Zinsser has introduced Okon Graffiti Barrier Coat, a ready
to use high performance coating that prevents paints and
markers from penetrating and permanently staining a variety of sealed architectural surfaces. The clear, non-yellowing,
water-based formula forms an invisible protective barrier on
interior and exterior, painted and unpainted surfaces that
makes graffiti easy to remove.
Low VOC and low odor, Okon Graffiti Barrier Coat is formulated with a single-component, self-crosslinking acrylic
that makes it easier to use compared to two-component anti-graffiti products. It is ideal for use on concrete block, brick,
stone, metal, wood, fiberglass, aggregate panels, cast concrete, EIFS, cement plaster, stucco, new paint and previously painted surfaces.
Easy to apply by roller or spray, Okon Graffiti Barrier Coat
can be recoated in 1-2 hours. It goes on milky-white and dries
clear to a satin or semi-gloss finish. Depending on the substrate, two to three coats are recommended for maximum
graffiti protection.
GREENSTONE INTRODUCES MAGNELINE
STAIRSAF-T AND GREENSHIELD SILLPRO
Greenstone Holdings, Inc. has introduced MagneLine
StairSaf-T, a method that utilizes specially designed polymer
cement mortar to protect metal stairs such as fire escapes
and ladders on high-rise buildings and pedestrian crossing
bridges from rust and corrosion, and also to add traction
making it harder to slip under slippery conditions.
The company has also introduced a new GreenShield
product, Sillpro, which can be brushed onto wooden windows, door sills and other components to protect them from
moisture and water penetration. Once it is applied it can be
painted or stained.
PPG ADDS DITZLER BIG FLAKE PIGMENTS
TO VIBRANCE COLLECTION FINISHES
PPG Industries’ automotive refinish business recently
introduced Ditzler Big Flake pigments to its Vibrance
Collection finishes line of custom colors and special effect
coatings. Ditzler Big Flake pigments comprise six large,

by PPG to create an old-style special-effect finish. It can also
be added to color blenders or Radiance II coatings to create
a mid-coat/pearl-coat effect.
