KRYLON UNVEILS SPRAY PAINT THAT FUSES TO PLASTIC ITEMS


01/07/2003


Krylon® is introducing a revolutionary spray paint for consumers that, with no priming, bonds securely to plastic materials, including outdoor furniture, children's toys, and vinyl fencing. The new paint has received recognition from two leading consumer do-it-yourself magazines. The product earned a Popular Mechanics "Editor's Choice Award" and a HANDY magazine "Innovation Award" when previewed at the National Hardware Show, a home improvement industry trade show, in August. "After years of research, Krylon has pioneered this breakthrough in technology," says Hugo Sandberg, director of marketing, Krylon Retail Products Group. "The formulation is proprietary, but it is based on a resin additive previously used in another industry."
Available in 16 colors, Krylon Fusion forms a superior bond to all types of clean, dry plastic surfaces including ABS, polypropylene, polyethylene, PVC, vinyl, resin, and even ceramic, glass, tile, wood, metal, wicker and other hard-to-bond-to surfaces. The spray paint resists fading and chipping in outdoor exposure and yields an extremely durable, high-gloss finish and a fast, 15-minute dry time. It is safe for use on children's items.
According to Kalvitz, the product should help to grow the market for spray paint by increasing the number of surfaces on which it can be used. He says Krylon Fusion also can enhance consumer satisfaction with plastic purchases while extending the life and usefulness of these items, and possibly reducing the flow of plastics to landfills.
Krylon Fusion is available in 12-oz. aerosol cans, at a suggested retail price of $3.99 to $4.79. The product is CFC-free and packaged in a completely recyclable aerosol can. Like all Krylon aerosol paints, Krylon Fusion is in compliance with the California Clean Air Act for Aerosol Coatings and the California Low Emissions and Reactivity Rule (CLEAR).
