"HYDROCOTE® Resisthane™ was born 32 years ago In response to California’s prospective ban on solvent based lacquers. The now popular “green” movement was heading our way. Over the years technological improvements evolved to the current Resisthane™ PLUS to make it a one of its kind, and continues to remain unprecedented. Its warmth and clarity to the grain or stain along with ease of use, versatility to apply, quick drying and rapid hardness development properties continue to be unrivaled. Equally important, Resisthane™ PLUS is a truly “green” technology formula product, with extremely low VOC, no hazardous air pollutants (HAP) or phthalates, and is chemically insensitive. Magna-Shield® is another wonderful wood finish born roughly 35 years ago and continues to improve through innovations. It satisfies the need for a durable, “self-sealing” pre-cat lacquer with the ability for a high film build (more than four coats) without cracking or crazing six months down the road. Its unique chemistry also delivers blush resistance up to a relative humidity of 96% and a smooth finish straight from the gun. EVERLAST™ Wood Finish and the Quick Drying Wood Grain Fillers are two equally extraordinary products. The latter being lacquer based, and now also available in water-based, able to seal and fill the grain quickly and economically on most tighter grain furniture and millwork fast and easy. The EVERLAST™, an Eco-Smart™ interior/exterior wood finish, offers an unsurpassed durability to a polyurethane with the richness and beauty of a varnish and Tung-oil, yet without that obnoxious odor. Dries and cures 75% faster than Tung-oil and will not support spontaneous combustion. The EVERLAST™ GYMCOAT is an enhanced wood finish designed specifically for wood flooring. Both products are now the preferred choice by architects 9 to 1, whether furniture or flooring."

"Founded in 1974, ARJAY began as a fiberglass parts supplier, catering mainly to major boat builders. Its success in this competitive area was based on developing and applying innovative materials and processes to reduce cost, raise quality and ultimately increase output. Here are a few examples of ARJAY’s innovation over the years: ARJAY was one of the first builders in the country to utilize knitted fabrics, which were new at the time, in larger, pallet quantities. ARJAY developed a line of resin application equipment which was marketed nationally through Binks. ARJAY innovation has been featured in Professional Boatbuilder Magazine. Once for gel coat application and a second time for our proactive environmental practices that actually saved money. For several years , ARJAY’s founder, Bob Cottrell, wrote a monthly column for the CFA’s magazine, “Composites Fabrication” entitled “Back to Basics”. In 1979 ARJAY developed a process for spraying filled polyester resin to replace plywood cores. For the next 15 years, ARJAY built thousands of parts using this in-house produced material. In 1994 ARJAY ceased parts production to turn full attention to developing and marketing a line of filled polyesters known as ARJAY Performance Products. By combining our experience as an efficiency-oriented fiberglass parts builder and our formulation expertise, these new products were inherently easy to use and continue to provide consistent results for our marine and industrial clients to this day."

"The Brewer Company heritage of providing high quality coating and sealant products to our customers actually began over seventy-nine years ago. In May of 1933, The Brewer Company was founded by Pinckney P. Brewer as a company specializing in the construction of brick and concrete pavements. Shortly thereafter the Company’s emphasis turned towards the asphalt manufacturing and construction business and by 1937, The Brewer Company owned and operated three asphalt plants in the Cincinnati area. These three plants afforded us the opportunity to gain expertise and success within the industry. Between 1937 and 1987 the Company expanded to a total of eighteen asphalt and gravel plants and related construction operations in and around Cincinnati, Ohio; Miami, Florida; the U.S. Virgin Islands; and the Bahamas. During this same period, some other significant events took place within the Company. The Brewer Cote Division, now called the Coatings Division, was formed in Cincinnati in 1953. This Division created work for the employees when the asphalt plants were not operating. The Division started out packaging cold mix patching material and filling five gallon pails of pre-mixed pavement sealer by hand. In 1972, the Company expanded this operation by acquiring the roof coating manufacturing business of The Herbert Chemical Company. The Company’s pavement sealer business continued to grow and it became essential to begin manufacturing our own pavement sealer. In 1977, The Brewer Company became a licensee of Engineering Industries, Inc. and for the first time began to manufacture Brewer Cote refined tar-based pavement sealer."

"ZINGA was invented at the University of Ghent, Belgium, in the 1970s and has since been used on various structures around the world. The ZINGA® galvanizing film combines several advantages: active or cathodic protection, a passive protection barrier and easy application. In order to be able to offer galvanic protection, it is imperative to have a zinc concentration of at least 92% in the dry extract. With its 96% dry extract, ZINGA® certainly meets these conditions. ZINGA® offers excellent active and passive protection. Zinc offers active and cathodic protection thanks to its sacrificial properties. The barrier formed by the zinc salts and the binder provide passive protection. ZINGA is an active and effective zinc coating, which works in conjunction with the underlying metal while the paints only form a passive barrier. Whatever its thickness, a paint remains a passive barrier. As soon as a scratch appears, corrosion will set in immediately. Despite this significant difference, ZINGA is still often considered a simple paint because it is liquid and is sold in jars. But there are other more subtle differences: there is no formation of ""dry skin"" in the pot because ZINGA has an unlimited lifespan and does not deteriorate like paint."
