BASF Launches
MasterProtect C 350, a
Hydrophobic Wall Coating
BASF launched a new wall coating in
the U.S. and Canada, engineered for
enhanced protection of vertical concrete, concrete masonry units (CMU)
and masonry.
MasterProtect C 350 hydrophobic coating is the latest addition to the
MasterProtect line of protective coatings,
part of BASF’s Master Builders Solutions
brand. The hydrophobic properties of
MasterProtect C 350 provide an attractive finish which resists dirt pick-up, and
requires only rainfall or rinsing with
water to remove any dirt which does accumulate, helping reduce exterior maintenance costs, according to the company.
MasterProtect C 350 can be applied
as a restoration topcoat or to new vertical construction. It is designed to withstand wind driven rain as well as heavy
UV exposure, resulting in long-lasting
color retention.
MasterProtect C 350 is available in four tintbases, with formulations to match the 50 colors in the
MasterProtect Color Portfolio. Custom
colors are also available.
Sherwin-Williams Adds
Three Finishes to KEM
Aqua Building Products Line
Sherwin-Williams recently added Kem
Aqua SoPro, Kem Aqua Wood Grain and
KEM Aqua Earth Tones exterior siding
topcoats to its Kem Aqua family of finishes. Along with Sherwin-Williams KEM
Aqua BP Siding Plus, these finishes provide quality and value in a broad range
of colors to professional prefinishers, according to the firm.
Kem Aqua SoPro, Kem Aqua Wood
Grain and Kem Aqua Earth Tones were
formerly offered as the Duckback-branded products SoPro, Wood Grain
Natural Toners, and Wood Grain Earth
Tones, which Sherwin-Williams acquired
in September 2013.
Products available to siding and trim
manufacturers include:
• KEM Aqua BP Siding Plus – a self
cross-linking monochromatic system that
provides consistent performance across
all substrates, eliminating the need to
stock different coatings for each sub-
strate. Production time is saved and color
consistency enhanced through one-coat
application, including dark, bold shades
that are available in solar reflective tints.
Fast cure times allow fast slip-sheeting
and packaging. Enhanced adhesion prop-
erties increase durability and reduce on-
site installation issues.
• KEM Aqua SoProTopcoat – a 100
percent acrylic latex finish that provides
excellent adhesion to primed fiber cement, composite wood and hardboard
siding and trim. It offers exceptional hiding and color retention. The finish also
provides outstanding color matching.
SoPro provides an eggshell sheen that is
hard, yet flexible, for enhanced durability. KEM Aqua SoPro is available in 145
colors as well as custom matched colors.
• KEM Aqua Wood Grain – a two-
part system for fiber cement and compos-
ite siding and trim, comprised of a base
coat that reduces efflorescence and adds
protection against UV rays and moisture.
The top coat provides a uniform wood-
like finish, accentuating the natural grain
patterns of the siding and trim. Six colors
are available.
KEM Aqua Earth Tones – a blend of
two tones that creates a multi-hued, natural look rather than a flat painted surface.
Designed for application on composite
and fiber cement siding and trim, it is
available in 21 colors.
Hempel Launches Two New
Pure Epoxy Coatings
Hempel has announced the launch of
two new pure epoxy coatings, Hempadur
15600 and Easy 47700.
An addition to the HEMPADUR
range, HEMPADUR 15600 is a IMO
PSPC cargo oil tank compliant, pure epoxy tank coating resistant to continuous
immersion in a range of chemicals, including crude oil up to 80 C/176 F, according to Henkel.
In addition, this new pure epoxy coating incorporates high cross-link density
technology on level with a phenolic epoxy coating, which gives added chemical and corrosion resistance and a hard,
smooth and glossy surface for easy clean-ing. HEMPADUR 15600 is also suitable
for grey and black water tanks, mud and
brine tanks, refrigerated seawater fish
tanks and other vessel tanks.
HEMPADUR EASY 47700 is a new
pure epoxy “all seasons” primer designed
for the marine maintenance market. It
was developed in response to demands
for a reliable, user friendly and flexible
coating for use in dry-dock under all climate conditions. This new coating can
be used on almost all vessel surfaces and
was designed to deliver high surface tolerance and reliability across the temperature scale. HEMPADUR EASY 47700
can be applied at temperatures as low as
- 10°C/50 F and up to + 40 C/104 F which
allows it to be used in most dry docks and
at most times of the year. CW
