Pro Industrial™ Pre-Catalyzed Water Based Epoxy
The washability, chemical resistance and hard, impact-resistant finish of Pre-Catalyzed Waterbased Epoxy makes it the ideal coating for high traffic areas like hospitals, schools and restaurants. Its excellent hide and great coverage minimizes the number of coats needed. Specially formulated for block, drywall, masonry and concrete, it’s the perfect coating for almost any commercial project that demands durability, performance and the ability to withstand repeated cleanings. It provides excellent stain blocking properties and flows and levels to a smooth finish. The single-component formula means there is no need to mix or measure. No limited pot life. Available in eg-shel and semi-gloss.
Pro Industrial™ Water Based Catalyzed Epoxy
This hard and tough coating is stain and chemical resistant and great for commercial spaces. It offers exceptional corrosion resistance direct-to-metal and flows and levels to a smooth finish.
It also meets the most stringent VOC regulations.
Pro Industrial™ Acrylic Coating
This fast-drying coating is easy to apply by brush, roll or spray and is perfect for commercial spaces. It offers exceptional stain resistance and exterior color and gloss retention. It flows and levels to a smooth finish, and meets the most stringent VOC regulations.
Pro Industrial™ Water Based Acrolon 100 Polyurethane
This advanced acrylic coating is a high gloss, abrasion-resistant urethane with excellent weathering properties. Chemical resistant, it can be applied directly to water-based and solvent-based organic zinc rich primers. It has less than 100g/L VOCs and is suitable for use in USDA-inspected facilities.
Pro Industrial DTM Acrylic
DTM Acrylic Coating is designed to withstand the harsh conditions of busy commercial and institutional environments. It’s the ideal choice when you need a product that can be used for both interior and exterior commercial applications. It meets the most stringent VOC regulations and offers excellent corrosion and flash rust resistance, weathering properties, and moisture and corrosion resistance
Pro Industrial™ High Performance Epoxy
Engineered for surfaces where chemical and abrasion resistance is essential, this all-purpose epoxy is specifically designed for industrial maintenance environments and high-performance architectural applications. Pre-measured and easy to mix, it provides a one-coat, high-film build. It is chemical and abrasion resistant, and is acceptable for use in USDA inspected facilities.
Pro Industrial™ Multi-Surface Acrylic Coating
Multi-Surface Acrylic is specifically engineered to provide high hide and good stain resistance. This interior/exterior, self-priming, waterborne gloss acrylic can be applied to marginally clean surfaces, making it ideal for use on walls and ceilings found in warehouses, manufacturing structures, schools, hospitals, hotels, commercial buildings and industrial sites, where a thorough cleaning is impractical. It provides excellent color and gloss retention and is great for use on a variety of substrates. Multi-Surface Acrylic is a dryfall-type coating that provides alkyd-like hardness. It is ideal when multiple substrates need to be painted, but only one product purchase is desired. This fast-drying gloss acrylic is easy to apply by brush, roll or spray and is intended for interior and exterior use on marginally prepared surfaces.
Pro Industrial™ Water Based Alkyd Urethane
This interior/exterior enamel provides beauty and durability when applied to surfaces such as properly prepared drywall, wood, masonry and metal. It brings together the convenience and ease of use of a waterborne coating with the performance and coating characteristics of a traditional oil-based enamel. It offers excellent washability, touch-up, and flow and leveling. The easy-to-apply coating is also resistant to yellowing.
Pro Industrial™ Pro-Cryl® Universal Acrylic Primer
This self cross-linking acrylic primer is designed for construction and maintenance applications and is engineered for surfaces where rust and corrosion resistance is critical. As a water-based alternative to solvent-based metal primers, it can be used on all bare steel, aluminum and galvanized substrates and is ideal for structural steel, machinery, piping or equipment found in schools, hospitals, hotels, commercial buildings and industrial sites. This single-component primer accepts all topcoats, including hot-solvent urethanes and epoxies. It’s fast drying and early moisture resistant and is acceptable for use in USDA-inspected facilities. It’s available in red-oxide, gray and off-white.
Pro Industrial™ Waterborne Acrylic Dryfall
This dryfall coating applies easily by airless spray and dries rapidly – before it has a chance to settle on machinery, equipment and floors. It’s ideal for exposed ceilings and overhead surfaces in commercial, warehouse and manufacturing facilities. Its excellent hide covers most surfaces and colors in one single coat. It retains whiteness and light reflectance properties, even when industrial fumes are present, and results in a Class A flame spread rating when applied to a non-combustible surface. It’s compliant with all current VOC regulations as well as LEED NC, CI, and CS requirements.
