wallcoatings.org.uk: The NPA wallcoatings & paint Blog.

Recently a new website has sprung up from a company called wallshield, who are using the phrase “never paint again”.  While we are NOT knocking them in any way, I am sure they are a very professional company, we have no idea, but nevertheless, i have to point out, due to confusion from some people who have contacted us, that we are not wallshield and have never and will never be connected with wallshield in any way.

….and would customers please note that the phrase “never paint again” does not mean never ever, most exterior wall coatings last for up to 25 years PROVIDED THEY ARE INSTALLED CORRECTLY and therefore consumers should be aware that never does not actually mean never ever!

We are an indpendant, online, exterior wallcoating company, who operate across the UK and europe. If you are looking for a quote for work to the outside of your home, please contact NPA NEVER PAINT AGAIN on 0800 970 4928

SHANGHAI, China, Nov. 19 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ — Rohm and Haas , the world’s leading specialty chemicals manufacturer, will participate in the upcoming CHINACOAT 2007 show in Shanghai, from November 21st through 23rd.

The company will feature its latest advanced technologies, including those specifically designed to meet the needs of this fast-growing, important market. These include new paint binders, elastomeric wall coatings, and rheology modifiers. On November 22nd, Rohm and Haas and DuPont will host the “2007 Forum on Coatings” at the Shanghai Renaissance hotel in Pudong. During this session, Rohm and Haas will deliver a speech recapping its latest technologies and products.

Rohm and Haas’s booth at the show will use a theme that describes the end- use characteristics these technologies bring to customers’ products: “professional, care, comfort and protection.”

The advanced technologies to be showcased at the exhibit include:

Next generation paint emulsion binders: Primal TM DC-418 is based on new chemistry that enables significantly better interaction between the polymers and inorganic particles. This not only improves the overall properties of the paints, but leads to improved performance and cost benefits for paint manufacturers.

Technology for elastomeric wall coatings: Rohm and Haas will also introduce two new products to Elastine(TM) series at this show. i.e. Elastine(TM) 3828 and Elastine(TM) 3808. The new elastomeric acrylic copolymers were specifically developed at the company’s state-of-art research center in Shanghai. This cost-effective, high-performance product can be used in a wide range of cement-and non-cement based water-protective barrier coatings that have low environmental impact (low odor and low VOC).

Dispersant: Orotan(TM) 963 is a new dispersant introduced by Rohm and Haas to the China market that can be used in a wide-range of waterborne architectural coatings. This innovative product provides improved early water resistance, which helps prevent the paint film from showing discoloration and water marks. This is especially important if the freshly painted surface is exposed to rain before it is fully cured. Additional advantages include paint color acceptance and washability, and cost savings since Orotan(TM) 963 dispersant exhibits excellent pigment dispersing capability.

Rheology modifiers: Acrysol(TM) AP-10 and AP-50 replace HEC with higher efficiency to reduce the formulation cost and provide better flow, scrub resistance and spatter resistance.

Mr. Bruce Hoechner, Vice President and General Manager for the company’s Paint and Coatings Materials Business in Asia Pacific, stated, “We are proud to showcase our new technologies and new products here at CHINACOAT. It demonstrates our commitment to bring China tailor-made, environmentally advanced, cost-effective coatings solutions to our customers’ doorsteps. We are also pleased to be able to demonstrate the capabilities of our research center in Shanghai (CRDC) to increasing meet local clients’ requirements. As a result, we believe the China coatings industry has ever more confidence in Rohm and Haas’s ability to meet their needs.”

Well “homeboy”, the word on tha street is this…………….. 

Several OTHER exterior wallcoating companies have reported SHARP decreases in customer enquiries and decreases in sales.

Many exterior wallcoatings spray teams are now scratching for work. (Maybe they should not have been so greedy over the past 10 years?? There are plenty of highly skilled Polish people who would do the job for half the price)

(the downturn) ………..This is almost certainly due to the wider factors in the economy at present, and compounded at this time by the traditional seasonal slump in home improvements in the run up to xmas………….

One major exterior coating company in england has apparently laid off a load of its surveyors.

Another factor is that over the next few years it will be MUCH harder to obtain credit, so the companies (and you know who you are) who sell coatings at a massively inflated price to get people on credit agreements………..THE END IS NIGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (maybe they should have not ripped people off)

Dont worry lads, you can always come and work for us.

……and if anyone from a major masonry coatings company in oxfordshire is reading this………….I TOLD YOU SO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I will always remember the “advice” you gave me…………..”DONT RE-INVENT THE WHEEL” you said to me.

well, looks like i did………………….

I would be more than happy to generate sales enquiries for you if you like?

How does around 3000 highly qualified leads with very little wastage a year, all genuine enquiries and survey requests, on a marketing budget OF ZERO, grab you?

yep, thats right, one secret of our success is that our site is so credible, according to industry leaders, we rank #1 for many key search terms, a fact i might add that some companies pay millions of pounds for………….

You could buy the brand off me if you like, if you have a spare few million…………

i shall wait by the ‘phone for your call…………………..

guy

Yep, its official, I havent kept my blogging up as much as I should have done!

As its coming to the end of the “busy season” for us, I will beable to devote more time to this and promise to write some more “guff” for you!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Anyway, bobs yer uncle as they say………….

Oh well, here we go again.

Well, last week was pretty slow, but we had a few sales in the midlands, and one in Murcia, spain.

I think people, especially here in the UK are starting to feel the pinch now. Petrols gone up. Xmas around the corner, energy/heating gone up, winter around the corner! Interest rates starting to bite, house sales slowing (as i predicted back in 2005), so whats the option for you?

Well, as the old saying goes, “dont move, improve”, well i would say that i run a home improvement company (!) but i think that statement is never truer as it is today!

If you want to sell your house, the outside HAS to look good and be in good repair. (You try getting a reliable builder to fix up your house!)

In addition, if youre going to stay put for the time being,  why not spend some money on the house instead?

I’ll leave those thoughts with you for now on this damp and dark monday morning. Any comments?

As a result of several stupid fools who think that they can post ads on this blog instead of joining in discussions, I have had to suspend the comment posting to only members who have joined and have been approved to be a member of this blog community.

If you wish to comment, please JOIN (above), and we will then approve, and you can post comments, however if they turn out to be adverts you will be suspended!

Why is it that something as good as this has to be ruined by spammers?? Sorry to everyone else. Like is aid, we WECLOME your comments and feedback, but we will have to approve them 1st.
