Specialty & Commercial Paint

Specialty & Commercial Paint covers high-performance coatings engineered for demanding facilities, from offices and hospitals to factories, schools, warehouses, and retail spaces. These products deliver long-term durability, cleanability, and compliance, reducing downtime and repaint cycles.

Choose from epoxy floor coatings for abrasion and chemical resistance, polyurethane topcoats for UV stability and color retention, acrylic and elastomeric wall coatings for weatherproofing, intumescent fireproofing for steel, anti-graffiti clear coats, roof coatings, tank linings, marine paints, and food-grade finishes. Matched primers for concrete, steel, drywall, and wood improve adhesion and corrosion resistance while speeding production.

Selection starts with your substrate and exposure: traffic, moisture, chemicals, temperature swings, and sunlight. Consider cure time, recoat windows, odor and VOC limits, and any certifications needed, such as LEED low-emitting or NSF/ANSI for potable water contact. Light reflectance and gloss can improve visibility and cleaning in corridors and bays.

Proper surface preparation drives performance. Degrease, profile, and remove failing paint. For steel, follow AMPP/SSPC standards and use zinc-rich primers where needed. For concrete, test for moisture, pH, and porosity; grind or shot-blast; patch cracks and joints. Measure film build with wet and dry mil gauges to hit the specified thickness.

Application tools include airless sprayers, HVLP guns, rollers, and brushes. Two-component systems may require plural-component sprayers, exact mix ratios, induction time, and attention to pot life. Monitor temperature, humidity, and dew point to prevent blushing or poor adhesion. Review spread rates to estimate gallons and labor.

Plan maintenance with scheduled cleaning and touch-ups to extend service life. Always read the SDS and use appropriate PPE, ventilation, and spark-safe equipment.
