Architectural and Decorative Coatings


Surface modifiers add value to interior and exterior paints, sealants and finishes by providing:

  • Early water resistance to protect paint from damaging weather immediately following application.
  • Long-lasting water resistance to prevent the formation of mold and mildew.
  • Longer “open time,” which allows rework after initial application. A long open time enables better flow, slower drying and a more even finish.
  • Better “brush feel” and easier application.
  • Stain resistance to make the finished surface easier to clean.
  • Block resistance to prevent windows from sticking to painted trim.
  • High performance with low VOCs.
