Dulux Trade provides quick dry paint solution for durable protection

Dulux Trade has added a new convenient Quick Drying Exterior Gloss to its highly successful Weathershield portfolio of exterior trade paints.

Weathershield Quick Drying Exterior Gloss is the first water based gloss finish for trim that combines all the attributes of water based technology without compromising on durability, giving similar durability to that of solvent based products. When used as part of the Weathershield system it provides ultimate exterior protection for up to six years which in turn delivers long term cost savings by increasing maintenance cycles.

The fully VOC 2010 compliant product demonstrates excellent opacity and gloss retention; algaecides and fungicides also help maintain a fresher look for longer, eliminating the need for frequent redecoration. Painted areas will be touch dry in one hour and ready to recoat after four hours, reducing downtime to a minimum. The new formulation will be available in Pure Brilliant White and a further 620 tinted colours in sizes up to five litres.

Matt Gray, Technical Training Consultant, from Dulux Trade commented: “We have invested in an extensive research and development programme to introduce this hard-working new product. Weathershield Quick Drying Exterior Gloss delivers long term cost and time savings, as well as boasting the sustainability credentials of water-based products, such as reduced embodied carbon and minimal VOC’s while providing the extreme durability solvent based products are famous for.

“What’s more, the product has great flow, which reduces the amount of visible brush marks, is very easy to apply, and has excellent sheen level for water based paint.”
