September, 2009 -- Prefinishers of exterior siding recognize the benefit of factory-finished siding, and the ways it can help builders speed construction schedules and reduce project costs and callbacks. Now, with Sherwin-Williams SuperPaint Advanced Machine Finish, prefinishers can help builders recognize those benefits, too. This new product provides top-notch product performance from factory, to builder, all the way to homebuyer.

SuperPaint Advanced Machine Finish is formulated to work even better with roller coating, curtain coating and vacuum coating equipment. Its product benefits include:

Sherwin-Williams' SuperPaint Advanced Machine Finish

• Faster drying time
• Smoother application
• Improved durability
• Superior hide and adhesion to both wood and fiber cement substrates
• Better resistance to marring and blocking

These features translate to high-speed advantages that keep production moving on prefinishing lines. What's more, the product is available in a full spectrum of colors to meet any builder specification, and features advanced resin technology that delivers long-term resistance to chipping, peeling, cracking and blistering.

When builders use prefinished siding, they are assured the siding coating is applied under controlled conditions and is coated on all sides to help prevent damaging moisture from getting through. Boards coated at the factory also mean less mess on the job site and less worry about weather conditions that can slow the siding finishing process. By eliminating these challenges, builders can better control their project costs and deadlines.

For prefinishers who place a premium on delivering high-performance siding to their building clients, SuperPaint Advanced Machine Finish offers a new solution that will improve siding durability and build client satisfaction.
