New Rust-Oleum Professional
Dry Erase Paint
Rust-Oleum has introduced its Professional Dry Erase Paint as an alternative to
prefabricated dry erase boards.
Rust-Oleum Professional Dry Erase
Paint creates a writeable, erasable surface on walls in conference rooms, offices, classrooms, dorm rooms, lobbies
or anywhere a dry erase surface is desired. The two-part water-based urethane coating can also be used to convert
existing chalkboards or dry erase boards
to new dry erase surfaces, making it an
alternative to replacement.
“Rust-Oleum Professional Dry Erase
was formulated specifically for the pro-
fessional,” said Jenny Thavenet, associate
brand manager. “The high gloss finish
provides easy erasability, excellent chemi-
cal resistance and great adhesion at a frac-
tion of the cost of purchasing dry erase
boards or competitive dry erase paints. All
important features for commercial, insti-
tutional or educational environments.”
Professional Dry Erase Paint is avail-
able in traditional white and an industry
exclusive clear formula that can be ap-
plied over any color topcoat for endless
color options. The non-yellowing, low
VOC formula offers easy mixing and
smooth, easy to roll application, the com-
pany says. It is packaged in a gallon kit
that contains a water-based hydroxy
acrylic base, activator, two roller covers
and an instruction sheet. One kit covers
up to 200 square feet, making it ideal for
larger commercial projects.

Sherwin-Williams launches
anti-graffiti polyurethane
coating
Sherwin-Williams Protective & Marine
Coatings has introduced 2K Water-based
Urethane Anti-Graffiti, a low VOC (<100
g/L), super hydrophobic polyurethane
coating that provides graffiti resistance
and simplifies graffiti removal. This new
coating system is the first in the industry
to include tintable gloss and satin versions, the company says.
Requiring only a dry cloth or environmentally friendly citrus cleaner to remove
most types of graffiti, the coating is intended to protect bridges, overpasses and
railcars, as well as commercial buildings,
schools and transit stations, from being
permanently defaced with spray paint or
markers. Because the product is water-based, applicators need only soap and
water to clean up after application.
“A gloss finish isn’t appealing for every
surface, so this product provides aesthetic
options while maintaining its intrinsic
anti-graffiti properties,” said Dee McNeil,
Sherwin-Williams bridge and highway
market development director. “With color
and gloss retention, the coating won’t fade
or chalk over time. Also, it’s easy to use –
the product comes in pre-measured sizes
for easy mixing and can be used on virtu-
ally any prepared surface.”
Fast-drying and versatile for mainte-
nance crews to use, it can be applied by
brush, roller or airless spray. Additionally,
the coating can be shaded to almost any
color in-store, providing a wide range of
color options.
