Coatings World - January 2010

BYK-3550 are automotive, industrial, wood and architectural coatings.

Troy Corporation has introduced a
series of wetting additives under the
banner, “Troy is the Key to Green
Coatings.”
“The products are focused on help-
ing our customer provide ‘green prod-
ucts with properties equal to conven-
tional products,” said Miller. “These
products are all VOC-free (US EPA
Method 24), HAPs-, APE-, Phthalate-
and heavy metal-free. They are also
made using renewable resources
where possible.”
Troy has recently launched a num-
ber of products to market, including
Polyphase 2085 for low-VOC solvent-
based wood stains and Mergal 753,
an advanced, highly concentrated,
environmentally friendly, wet-state
preservative for paints and coatings
that is VOC- and formaldehyde-free.

To differentiate from competition,
Troy has also introduced the Home-
Shield Performance Mark, which is
displayed on products containing
Troysan, Polyphase and/or Mergal per-
formance additives and attests that
the finished product has passed a spe-
cially designed rigorous HomeShield
Performance Test and contains Troy’s
antimicrobial protection.
