Sandtex Trade extends range of exterior coatings

Edited by the Buildingtalk editorial team Jun 27, 2008

Sandtex Trade has extended its range of exterior coatings with the launch of two new high performing products: Eggshell X-tra and Rust Inhibiting Primer.

Sandtex Trade Eggshell X-tra offers outstanding durability and substrate protection in an extensive choice of colours.

Sandtex Trade Rust Inhibiting Primer is suitable for a wide range of exterior surfaces and provides exceptional performance against rusting.

Sandtex Trade Eggshell X-tra is a semi-satin finish, which can be used on a variety of primed exterior softwood and hardwood joinery and on metallic surfaces, including galvanised metal.

Formulated to offer the highest combined level of performance and aesthetics, Sandtex Trade Eggshell X-tra provides specifiers with a durable coating that protects substrates from the most extreme weather conditions, and can be produced in over 2000 tinted colours.

Sandtex Trade Rust Inhibiting Primer has been developed to offer excellent adhesion to an array of exterior metalwork, including new and previously painted ferrous and non-ferrous metal, as well as pre-treated and weathered galvanised steelwork.

Creating a robust base prior to top coat application, Sandtex Trade Rust Inhibiting Primer reduces corrosion from the elements and helps to prevent the formation of rust.

Nicola Kenyon, Sandtex Trade product manager at Crown Paints added: "Increasingly, specifiers are looking for products that tick all the boxes, particularly in terms of performance, cost and ease of application".

"With this in mind, our new Rust Inhibiting Primer can be applied to new or unpainted surfaces and can also be used as a spot primer when refurbishing painted substrates such as gates and railings".

"As this one product can be used on a variety of exterior substrates, it is cost-effective for the specifier and makes the application process much more efficient." Sandtex Trade Eggshell X-tra is available in 2.5 litres for tinted colours and 2.5 and 1 litre packs in white.
