Have you looked at vinyl-based
resin technology lately?
f o r mu l a t e . ma n u f a c t u r e . ma r k e t . p a i n t . l i v e .
When we introduced our new EcoVAE emulsions last year, we told you
that VAE (vinyl acetate ethylene) technology would be the foundation for a new
generation of consumer pleasing, eco-friendly paints. After just over a year in the
market, formulators of all types of paints have found that EcoVAE strikes the bal-
ance that everyone has been looking for in making high quality, high performing,
people-friendly products.

Theyve discovered that formulating with EcoVAE is uncomplicated. That the paints
they make with it show excellent scrub, stain resistance and touch-up performance.
And that EcoVAE technology is suitable for a broad range of interior paints from
premium brands to contractor flats.
If youve already found EcoVAE, thanks for your support. If you haventmaybe its time
you discovered the next generation low VOC emulsion that everyone in the North American
paint industry is talking about.
Your future is our focusworldwide.
Find the balance youre looking for.

6 OCTOBER 2010 WWW.COATINGS WORLD.COM
I
m sure has gotten around the industry by now that a former
Valspar employee recently admitted to stealing trade secrets
from the paint maker with plans to take them to a new employ-
er in China. David Yen Lee, 54, of Jersey City, New Jersey, pleaded
guilty to theft of a trade secret with intent to economically benefit
someone other than its owner before U.S. District Judge Robert
Gettleman in Chicago, IL.
Lee worked as a technical director at the Wheeling, Illinois,
facility of Minneapolis-based Valspar from 2006 to 2009, when he
left to take a job in Shanghai with Osaka, Japan-based Nippon
Paint. Nippon wasnt charged with any wrong doing.
When he was arrested in March 2009, Lee had a pocket-size com-
puter thumb drive containing Valspar data in his possession. The
information he took they said is worth $7 million to $20 million.
Lee, whose crime is punishable by as long as 10 years in prison
and a $250,000 fine, is scheduled to be sentenced on Nov. 23.
According to his plea agreement, beginning in September 2008
and continuing through February 2009, Lee discussed possible
employment with Nippon. On February 27, 2009, Lee accepted an
employment offer from Nippon to serve as the vice president of
technology and administrator of research and development in
Nippons Shanghai, PRC offices. Lee resigned from Valspar on
March 16, 2009, and prepared to relocate to Shanghai.
As a technical director at Valspar, Lee had access to Valspars
secured internal computer network, including access to trade
secrets in the form of proprietary chemical formulas, paint prop-
erties calculations, and emerging research and development
information.
According to his plea agreement, during the period from
November 2008 through March 2009, Lee downloaded trade
secrets from Valspars secured computer system and transferred
electronic files to external thumb drives with the intention of
using the trade secrets for the benefit of another.
This case makes me wonder how much information has slipped
through the cracks and made its way to foreign competitors. Do
you know of any other instances of trade secret theft that has
occurred in the paint and coatings industry recently? If so, I
would like to hear about it. Thank you.

RPM acquires Turkish distributor
RPMs Building Solutions Group has
acquired Park Dis Ticaret A.S., a
leading supplier of sealants, tapes
and membranes to the construction
markets in Turkey. Based in
Istanbul, Park has annual sales of
approximately $10 million. Founded
in 1994 by Adnan Akkin, Park dis-
tributes high-performance sealants,
weatherseals, structural silicones,
one-side and double-side adhesive
tapes, and adhesives to customers in
Turkey, Russia and the Middle East.
This acquisition will provide Tremco
illbruck and the RPM Building
Solutions Group (BSG), a strong base
from which to grow our international
presence, said Frank C. Sullivan,
RPM chairman and chief executive
officer. As part of the RPM BSG,
Park will also be able to expand its
product offerings into new categories,
such as firestopping. We look forward
to having Adnan Akin and his man-
agement team join RPM.
VALSPAR ANNOUNCES PRICE
INCREASE FOR POWDER COATINGS
Valspar has implemented price in -
creases for protective coatings prod-
ucts in the companys general indus-
trial line serving the pipe and rebar
markets. Pricing changes will take
effect for all shipments on or after
Oct. 15. The continued escalation in
the price for epoxy, a key raw materi-
al used to manufacture fusion bonded
epoxy coating products, necessitated
the action.
ARKEMA EXPANDS ITS
PRESENCE IN EMULSIONS IN CHINA
Arkema has announced the construc-
tion of a latex plant in China to pro-
duce a range of emulsion polymers for
use primarily in the coatings and
adhesives markets. Arkema will invest
$30 million in the new plant located on
its Changshu platform. Start-up is
expected in late 2012. Expanding man-
ufacturing into China for emulsion
products enhances Arkemas position
as an integrated global raw materials
source for its customers in many
industries, and reinforces Arkemas
strategy to grow its position in Asia
and increase its acrylics downstream
integration. Adding capability for
emulsion products will further
enhance Arkemas offering in the
region to coatings manufacturers,
especially after the completion of the
Coatex acrylic polymer plant which is
expected to start up mid 2011 as
announced in July 2009. CW

MESOCOATS NANOCOMPOSITE
CERMET COATINGS SELECTED
AS A TOP TECHNOLOGY
MesoCoat Inc.s PComP nanocompos-
ite cermet coatings have been identi-
fied and selected as a breakthrough
nanotechnology of potential benefit to
the oil and gas exploration and pro-
duction industry by EPNanoNet.
MesoCoat Inc.s CEO, Andrew
Sherman participated in the first
EPNanoNet webinar on Sept 28th,
briefing leading oil and gas industry
members on the companys nanocom-
posite coating solutions for extending
equipment life and operational
envelopes in extreme environments.
This is the first in a series of
Nanotechnology for E&P webinars
to be hosted by EPNanoNet, and
MesoCoat was chosen as one poten-
tially stand-out technology over a
highly competitive pool of nanotech-
nology-based solutions companies and
technologies to participate in this
flagship event. EPNanoNet was
launched in 2008 with the mission of
accelerating the development and
uptake of nanotechnology within the
upstream oil and gas exploration and
production industry. MesoCoats
PComP nanocomposite cermet family
of coatings incorporate solid lubricant
and other ceramic nanoparticles into
a hard, tough, extremely durable coat-
ing system that is used to protect
metal parts from wear and corrosion
in extreme environments, such as
those encountered in the E&P indus-
try. The PComP coatings are applied
using thermal spray, and provide up
to 10 times life extension over carbide
and hard chrome coatings in sliding
wear applications because of extreme-
ly low coefficients of friction combined
with high hardness. The nanocompos-
ite coatings also provide improve-
ments in ductility, toughness and
spallation resistance compared to
ceramic coatings such as diamond
like carbon, tungsten carbide, or alu-
mina-ceramic, and are easier and
faster to apply and grind than con-
ventional, larger grain size coating
materials.

ASTM APPROVES STANDARD
FOR ZIRCONIUM TREATMENT
Zirconium is used as an anti-corro-
sive finishing/surface treatment on
metal substrates. If the coating of
zirconium is too thin, then the
sought-for metal property will not be
achieved. Similarly, applying too
thick a coat means that treatment
material is wasted and so is money.
Therefore, ASTM International
Committee D01 on Paint and
Related Coatings, Materials and
Applications has developed a new
standard, ASTM D7639, Test Method
for Determination of Zirconium
Treatment Weight or Thickness on
Metal Substrates by X-Ray
Fluorescence, to assist in the produc-
tion of fit-for-purpose and cost-effec-
tive parts. According to Christelle
Petiot, XRF coatings product manag-
er, Oxford Instruments Analytical,
U.K., This standard will be used to
measure the zirconium treatment
weight or thickness applied to metal
substrates, either along the process
line, or in the quality control lab. In
both cases X-ray fluorescence instru-
ments are used; handheld XRF
instruments are typically used along
the process line for rapid quality
control with no sample preparation,
and benchtop XRF instruments are
used in the quality control lab. The
XRF instruments are used to provide
qualitative and quantitative data
about the metals. ASTM D7639
shows users the performance (preci-
sion) that can be achieved by follow-
ing its simple procedure and using
the instrumentation defined in the
method. The next step for
Committee D01 and its Sub -
committee D01.53 on Coil Coated
Metal is to develop methods for
other treatments such as chromium
and titanium. The committee wel-
comes participation from all inter-
ested parties, particularly coil coater
professionals.

PPG TO HELP INAUGURATE GREATER
PHILADELPHIA INNOVATION CLUSTER
PPG participated in a ceremony Sept. 27
that celebrated the awarding of $129
million in federal funds to create the
Greater Philadelphia Innovation Cluster
(GPIC), a five-year initiative designed to
improve the energy efficiency of build-
ings in the U.S. PPG is one of five indus-
try partners in the project, which
includes 11 academic institutions, two
U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) labo-
ratories, and several regional economic
development agencies and community
colleges. PPG will offer expertise in a
host of energy-efficient building tech-
nologies for both new construction and
retrofit applications with a focus on inno-
vations for the building envelope. The
funds, which were awarded to a consor-
tium organized by Penn State Un -

Wind turbine coatings in demand
International Coatings Scene
P
rotective coatings companies, particu-
larly those with experience supplying
coatings for marine vessels and struc-
tures, are positioning themselves to exploit a
potentially massive new market in northern
Europe.
It will be for coatings for offshore wind tur-
bines and to a lesser extent tidal and wave
power installations in which investment is
being driven by the European Unions target
of 20 percent renewable energy by 2020.
This year as much as 1,000 mega watts (MW)
of offshore wind power is expected to be
installed, most of it in the North Sea and adja-
cent marine areas. This compares with an instal-
lation of 577 MW in 2009, according to the
European Wind Energy Association (EWEA). By
mid-2010 there were nearly 1,000 offshore wind
turbines operating in 43 wind farms in Europe
with a total capacity of around 2,400 MW.
Currently there are 16 offshore wind farms
under construction and a further 52 with
planning permission, totalling around 20,000
MW. Another 80,000 MW is expected eventu-
ally to be built, pushing total investment in
European offshore wind power to 100-150
billion ($130-200 billion).
The market is a huge opportunity, said
James OBrien, power market manager for pro-
tective coatings at AkzoNobels International
Paint, citing his companys experience in the
supply of paints for offshore oil and gas rigs and
in marine coatings.
AkzoNobel is competing against other lead-
ing European suppliers of marine and off-
shore coatings like Hempel of Denmark and
Jotun of Norway.
The turbines are bigger than those operating
onshore with larger blades and also large subsea
foundations, said Dimitris Lik ouressis,
Hempels group marketing manager for protec-
tive coatings. They need high performing paints
so that the surfaces do not have to be repainted
for a long time because of the high costs of doing
maintenance work offshore.
Hempel is well established in the coatings
market for wind turbines since their first
development around 20 years ago while it also
has a long involvement in marine and oil and
gas rig coatings.
But other European coatings companies
like BASF Coatings and Bayer Mat -
erialScience for whom the marine and off-
shore sector is less of a major market have
been moving into the new offshore turbine
segment while non-European players are
thought to have been looking for opportuni-
ties there as well.
The proportion of imports into Europe at the
moment is relatively low, said Likouressis. But
it is expected to go up through suppliers from the
U.S. and China and India. The Chinese are very
active in the wind turbine sector.
Offshore wind turbine manufacturers want
coatings that comply with quality standards
used for coatings for oil and gas platforms,
which can mean additional R&D work for
newcomers. This is particularly the case for
coatings for the foundations and splash zones
of the machines.
The protective coatings systems are relative-
ly similar to those used on oil and gas rigs, said
Likouressis. The big difference is that they have
to be formulated in order to help the turbine
makers raise their productivity. This means that
they have to be systems that are easy to apply
during the manufacture of the turbine compo-
nents. A key requirement is a quick drying time.
The most technologically complex part of
the turbine for coatings producers are the
blades, which can rotate at speeds of around
200 kilometres (124 miles) per hour.
Protection of turbine blades in offshore envi-
ronments is proving to be an interesting coating
opportunity, said OBrien. Offshore winds, by
definition, mean stronger and more reliable

winds. They are also driving the devel-
opment of larger and larger turbine
sizes. Larger turbines means bigger
blades, which means faster tip speeds
and therefore more aggressive service
environments.
Hitting anything at this speed,
including rain drops, can generate a lot
of impact energy, he continued. Being
able to withstand this constant better-
ing year in and year out has proven to
be a challenge to many current wind
blade coatings, and it remains one of the
largest challenges for future product
development.
Anti-fouling coating systems for
ships hulls can be applied to the static
foundations of wind turbines despite
the absence of the fast moving waters
around marine vessels.
The static water performance of our
Intersleek fouling release fluropolymer
range has proven to be very effective,
said OBrien. It has been successfully
employed on a range of static structures
from offshore fixed platforms, to ocean
moored sea buoys. In many cases nor-
mal tidal or wave motion has proven
more than adequate to keep the surface
fouling free.
Anti-fouling coatings are also being
applied in tidal and wave power
installations, which offer a wide range
of surfaces for marine organisms such
as algae, barnacles, mussels and tube
worms to adhere to.
With tidal and wave power there will
be a greater need for anti-fouling coat-
ings, said Likouressis. Our anti-foul-
ing silicon gel technology will help in
this area.
Energy from tidal and wave power
is an example of a new technological
area where protective coatings suppli-
ers feel the need to be involved in the
early stages because it has the poten-
tial to be a huge market. Among sys-
tems under development are oscillat-
ing water columns, compression-driv-
en turbines and hydraulic rams that
power motors.
The sector has big potential but at the
moment it is at the same stage of devel-
opment that wind power was around 20
years ago, said Likouressis.
Europe in fact has the largest tidal
wave power station in the worlda 54-
year-old 240 MW generator at Rance
estuary in northern France. But it uses
conventional hydro-electric technology to
drive turbines.
AkzoNobel is already participating in
two wave power schemes both being
developed by two Scotland-based com-
paniesPelamis and Aquamarine
Power. Aquamarine Powers goal is to
develop commercial wave farms around
the world.
The biggest challenges technologi-
cally in tidal and wave scheme are
related to keeping up with technologi-
cal changes, said OBrien. This
includes the number of differing tidal
and wave power prototypes currently
available. Those that will be ultimate-
ly not economically feasible is difficult
to predict.
Understanding the true protective
coating requirements of these struc-
tures is the daunting task before us,
OBrien said. CW

T
he Chilean paint market is returning
to growth at a steady pace as manufac-
turers rationalize production, focus on
niche marketing and elevate quality product
lines. According to a recent forecast by Oxford
Economics, the $220 million paint industry in
Chile averaged 9.3 percent expansion over the
five-year period ending in 2009. The analysts
forecast for the next five years is 5.5 percent
average expansion.
Given the global economic slowdown last
year, Chiles paint industry still was touted as
the 10th fastest growing in 2009, despite log-
ging a mere 0.2 percent expansion on the
heels of double-digit growth in 2008. The
industry represents only 1.1 percent of all
manufacturing in Chile, producing some 20
million gallons per year.
Architectural paint sales represent about 60
percent of total sales in Chile, while industrial
sales represent about 40 percent, according to
Fitch Ratings. Among leaders in the sale of
architectural paint for the Chilean do-it-yourself
(DIY) market are Pinturas Ceresita and
Sherwin-Williams, according to Euromonitor
International. Homecenter Sodimac and
Centosuds Homecenter are the largest DIY
retailers in the country. And at retailer
Construmart, an official was recently quoted
saying that paint represents 50 percent of the
chains total sales.
Other national paint companies include
Chilcorrofin, Pinturas Sipa and Soquina. In
June, Ceresita and Sipa merged, with plans for
the former to focus on the architectural segment
and the latter to focus on the industrial segment.
One analyst suggests that the Ceresita-Sipa
partnership is estimated to represent a 35 per-
cent share of the total Chilean paint and coat-
ings market, edging out both Sherwin-Williams
and Tricolor as the largest player.
The paint and coatings sector should
expand rapidly this year as recovery from the
widespread February earthquake continues
on new investments. Over the first half of this
year, the Chilean economy grew by 6.3 per-
cent. Reductions in the price of oil and other
raw materials have begun to help some com-
panies recover financial margins, like
Tricolor, Fitch reports.
Among new product launches, Ceresita is
now offering an anti-bacterial formulation,
"Bio-Pruf," enhanced with additives made by
Rohm & Haas. Similarly, Sherwin-Williams
has introduced a formulation that includes an
insect repellent. And Sipa has introduced a
thermal insulating paint, Aisla-Tex.
Behr has become the latest entrant to the
Chilean paint market in September 2009. The
companys paint is being sold in the Sodimac
chain, where Behr has installed its ColorSmart
planning stations.
Apart from traditional points of sale, Chilean
paint companies also are moving into the elec-
tronic markets of social media. Ceresitas web-
site, for example, has a variety of Facebook,
Youtube and Twitter postings and links. Web
analyst Alexa reports that the website received
two million hits over a recent quarter.
Social projects remain a key form of mar-
keting for Chilean paint companies. Following
the February earthquake, for example,
Pinturas Sipa rolled out a program to help
hardware stores replace damaged paint cans
and other materials, with offers to help
upgrade sales aids. CW

HENKEL DEVELOPS
ABLESTIK WBC-8901UV
Recognized for its ease of use and cost-
effectiveness with die attach processes
for leadframe packages, Henkel has
extended its Wafer Backside Coating
(WBC) portfolio to also include a solu-
tion for stacked die packages. Ablestik
WBC-8901UV has been designed to
address the demanding requirements of
multiple die stack applications for the
memory market segment, including
packages such as TSOPs, MCPs and
FMCs (Flash Memory Cards). The
unique formulation of Ablestik WBC-
8901UV offers a robust and cost-effec-
tive alternative to current film-based
solutions for die stacking processes,
reducing the total cost of ownership as
compared to film by as much as 30% to
50%. Process flexibility is also
enhanced, as packaging specialists can
now adjust die attach thickness based
on specific manufacturing require-
ments and can also select their dicing
tape of choice. Film die attach materials
are generally supplied in predeter-
mined thicknesses as a bundled product
which incorporates the dicing tape.
Applied via a spray coating method fol-
lowing the wafer thinning process,
Ablestik WBC-8901UV is precisely
deposited across the back of the silicon
wafer following which the material is B-
staged using a UV irradiation process.
After this step, dicing tape is laminated
to the wafer, backgrinding tape is
removed and the wafer is diced in
preparation for die pick-up and place-
ment. Henkel is currently partnering
with spray technology and backgrind-
ing equipment manufacturers to deliver
an integrated, inline process solution
for this unique WBC advance.
NEW ANTI-STATIC

L
ast month, in the first part of this series, we
returned to the basic principles upon which
Value-Selling is supported. There have been
more than 100 books and countless articles dis-
cussing alternative selling techniques. A few of these
titles may ring a familiar bell: Competitive Selling,
Best PracticesCustomer-Focused Solutions, The
Grid for Sales Excellence, Growth Partnering
How to Build Your Companys Profits by Building
Customer Profits and Customer Centered Growth
to name a handful.
In part one we said that there is nothing
worse in a sales situation than in trying to
market a naked product, or one that has been
stripped of its unique performance value. In
other words, it is a product or service that has
been stripped of its value. This happens when
an abundance of similar offerings are being
made available on the market. In addition
buyers compress these offerings even further
into a common and familiar phrase that says,
your product is no different from a dozen oth-
ers we could use in our operation and for less
money.
Remember the often used phrase, the cus-
tomer is always right? Well it is more accu-
rate to alter this phrase and to always remem-
ber that, the customer is always right, some-
times. Understanding this principle is the
first rule of understanding how customers
behave.
Customers are made up of many depart-
ments and individuals with as many different
opinions about common issues as there are
numbers of people. Therefore, to take one, two
or even three of your customers individual
judgments and use them for your direction
solely is a path laid out in degrees of failure.
Why is this true? Because the individual
within your customer is only right sometimes.
They may only see parts of the issue, problem
or opportunity. As a result, they are biased
their direction is skewed.
So guess what it takes to fully understand
what your target customer(s) really want and
more importantly, what they really need? It
takes you, the salesperson, to gain more com-
prehensive customer data, information,
knowledge and wisdom, beyond the individu-
als in your single customer and yes, beyond
their collective knowledge as well.
HOW DOES ONE BECOME
A SUCCESSFUL SELLER?
In the first four sentences of a customer dia-
logue, a successful sales person does these four
things very well:
Identifies a customer problem in financial
terms. That is, in terms of what the current
situation (problem, issue, opportunity) is cost-
ing the customer, or what the customer could
be earning (gaining) without the problem;
Quantifies a profit-improvement solution to
the problem;
Takes a position as manager of a problem-
solving system and accepts single-source
responsibility for its performance. In the
course of defining the system in terms of
the contribution its components make to
improve customer profits, products and
services are mentioned for the first time in
this space; lastly
The fourth sentence proposes a partnership
in terms of applying the system to solve the
customers problem, or unmet need.
You may be saying this system selling
must take a great deal of time. You may also
be saying, I dont think I can afford the time
to do this. I cant cover all my accounts if I try
this concept.. Well, you would be right!
It takes more time to become an effective

STRATEGIES & ANALYSIS
Business Corner
cant handle all the accounts youre
assigned if you become and effective
systems seller.
Roughly 80 percent of profit generat-
ing sales are made by 20 percent or less
of the sales population. Over the course
of my career two sales individuals who
I had the distinct pleasure of manag-
ing, or should I say had the pleasure of
watching them manage me, were Carl
Peraino and Walt Pascoe.
The two are as different as night and
day in terms of personality. Carl is an
outgoing and gregarious, hail-fellow-
well-met kind of guy. One you might
meet at a party and say later, I really
like that guy Carl, hes entertaining
and I think he may have some sub-
stance under all that bluster. Walt, on
the other hand, came out of the lab
where he was a technical director and
would be considered a complete wall-
flower at this hypothetical party. He
was somewhat bashful and lacked
much of a sense of humor as well.
What these two had in common was
the ability to system sell. They both
set sales records however they were
able to set these sales records in par-
allel with also setting the highest prof-
its per sale in the process. When I tell
people about these two star salesmen,
I refer to the The Peraino or Pascoe
Model.
When I first started to manage
Walt, I asked him to defend his low
calls per customer ratio. At the time
he was averaging one call per day
where the other 11 sales persons aver-
aged almost three per day. Walt simply
referred to the records, which said he
was selling 30 percent of the divisions
revenue at 49 percent gross margin
while the other 11 were selling the
remaining 70 percent at 38 percent
gross profit. It wasnt too long after
this encounter that I began traveling
with Walt to learn how he did it.
The Peraino model was very similar.
I hired Carl on a trial basis and 14
months later, he was salesman of the
year for my division as well as the
whole corporation and contributing
the highest per sale profits of any of
the 32 national sales people. What was
Carls call frequency? He actually
averaged less than one call per day.
So what can these two diametrical-
ly opposite personalitiesthe extro-
vert and the introverthave in com-
mon that made them so successful?
They both had a passion to under-
stand and to become wise in what
each of their core customers
goals/objectives were from the top to
the bottom of these organizations, and
they were analytical.
Most of all, as system sellers, they
both knew that they must position
themselves as the vital ingredient in
the selling process. That is, they knew
to be ultra-successful, no other indi-
vidual could hold the epicenter posi-
tion except the systems seller.
Additionally, there were key tactics
they understood, such as:
In industrial products where there is
a multiplicity of customer positions
that can block or enhance the sales
process, as a system seller, they could
handle only 10-17 accounts;
As a system seller they must spend
a 12/1 ratio of preparation to sales per-
suasion time;
As a system seller they would live
with an account at every customer
position until they knew the overall
organization better than any one indi-
vidual in that target account; and
They could, therefore, speak to all
issues within that account from plant
production, marketing, finance, inven-
tory, to the customers problems and
issues with their own customers
downstream.
Heres one example. Carl saw a
South Carolina Japanese transplant
company producing airbag housing,
instrument panels, center consuls and
arm rests among other components.
They were using more than $2 million
annually of a Japanese coating. Carl
saw this as an enormous opportunity
for his company. So where did Carl
start the system selling process? One
might think the purchasing depart-
ment would make sense or the plant
engineering manager, or the paint line
supervisor. No, Carl started on the sec-
ond shift when he drove around to the
back of the plant about lunch break
time to speak with the workers on the
paint line. At first he simply stated
and mused aloud about how difficult
its going to be to crack this account
and he let the workers fill him in on
the elements most critical to being
successful from their vantage point.
During the first visit he gleaned
critical intelligence not just in what
they said but who had the best view of
the political ins and outs and how oth-
ers have failed.
The second visit Carl brought coffee
and the local bakerys best pastries
along with a few choice cigars. More
information flowed and by the fourth
visit, one of the key workers suggested
that Carl should bring in a couple of
five gallon pails and run against the
incumbent just to take a look. Carls
product outperformed the competitor
in several aspects including the all-
important piece-cost reduction.
The second shift foreman unofficial-
ly showed his results with to the first
shift foreman who decided to run a
similar bank of products to compare
consistency. Results were very similar,
so the two foremen took their collec-
tive results up the line and eventually
told purchasing they were changing to
Carls product.
Yes, system selling takes a lot of
time and it normally cant be done
over night but it can be done on the
night shift as Carl has demonstrated.
We look forward to bringing you the
third and last of the series on system
selling and its benefits. CW

One of the leading North American paint manufacturers, Benjamin Moore
continues to innovate new technology for the exterior architectural
coatings market place. Jeff Spillane, senior product marketing manager
at Benjamin Moore discusses some of these new advancements as well
as the market in general.
BY TIM WRIGHT
EDITOR
What is the current state of the exterior archi-
tectural coatings market in North America?
Jeff Spillane, senior product market-
ing manager at Benjamin Moore &
Co.: The recession, overall, has
caused a drop in the demand for
exterior coatings. Generally speak-
ing, many property owners are
stretching their dollars and putting
off painting for an additional year, if
its possible to do so without causing
damage to the structure. This, along
with the replacement of paintable
substratesEIFS, stucco, stone and
synthetic sidinghas further less-
ened the demand. However,
Benjamin Moore, with its recently
introduced exterior paints and
stains, notably its waterborne
Arborcoat Exterior Stain, has experi-
enced strong sales. This is an indica-
tor that homeowners are turning
towards high performing, premium
coatings that provide longer lasting
durability for their exterior projects.
Who is dominating the market, DIYers or
professional painters?
Spillane: Exterior projects tend to be
contractor-centric versus DIY due to
the scope of the work. Benjamin
Moore plays a significant role in the
premium residential painting con-
tractor market and our products

meet their demands for performance
and durability.
What are your thoughts on the effect the reces-
sion has had and continues to have on the
market?
Spillane: Benjamin Moore has experi-
enced a strong response to our exterior
product lines. As we emerge from the
recession, employment numbers will
improve and with that increased con-
sumer confidence. People will begin to
spend on normal life stage projects and
pent-up demand will drive sales; the
real estate market will gain momentum
and housing prices will begin to stabi-
lize. While it will take some time, we are
confident that the economy is moving in
the right direction, albeit slowly.
What are the current trends and issues in the
market? What challenges does the market
face moving forward in the years to come?
Spillane: Although we are experienc-
ing gradual improvement, coatings
manufacturers are faced with raw
material shortages. With the signifi-
cant cutbacks initiated during the
recession by many home improve-
ment product suppliers in production
and inventories, as business increas-
es, there could be a strain to meet
growing customer demand.
What are the key issues with your cus-
tomer channelsprofessional painter and
DIYand how is your company addressing
those needs?
Spillane: Our independent channel is
strong and getting stronger across
North America. Our existing retail-
ers continue to grow and we add
additional distribution every year.

gy being offered for exterior architectural

manufacturer of coatings. We also man-
NeverFade exterior paint receives MVP Award
APV Engineered Coatings NeverFade exterior paint was recently recognized for its technological
achievement by Building Products magazine.
NeverFade paint, warranted to last 15 years against fading, has been named a winner of the 2010 Most Valuable Product
(MVP) Awards presented by Building Products magazine. Manufactured by APV Engineered Coatings, NeverFade profes-
sional exterior paint is formulated with Kynar Aquatec polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) to make it resistant to fading, algae,
fungus, stains and abrasions.
While the residential construction industry sees hundreds of new product introductions each year, the MVP winners
stand apart for their thoughtful design, smart technologies or even pure wow factor, said Jean Dimeo, editorial director for
Building Products and ebuild.com. In a struggling economy, its innovations like these that can help contractors woo cus-
tomers, save time and money, and surpass the competition.
APV Engineered Coatings worked with Arkema, Inc. to create NeverFade paint.
Kynar Aquatec is dispersed into the water-based formula for NeverFade paint, so
VOCs are drastically reduced, making NeverFade. The homopolymer in Kynar
Aquatec is a tough, engineered thermoplastic that offers a balance of properties.
As a result, NeverFade paint withstands harsh thermal, chemical and ultraviolet
environmental conditions. In essence, it resists abrasions, restricts the growth of
mold and mildew, and will not pick up dirt.
We created this top-of-the-line exterior paint with ultraviolet blockers and
high quality pigments mixed with fluoropolymer resin to prevent against fad-
ing and chalking, said David Venarge, chairman of APV Engineered Coatings.
To show our confidence in this product, we provide an unprecedented 15-year
warranty against fading. In the unlikely event that someone is obliged to apply the warranty, we will provide the
replacement of the product and payment for job-related labor costs.
Available nationwide for use on both residential and commercial projects, NeverFade may be applied to vinyl siding, PVC,
wood, aluminum siding, stucco, masonry and fiber cement surfaces. Since each paint order is custom made, NeverFade is
available in an unlimited number of colors.

ish. This product combines the
advantages of Benjamin Moores
resin technology and its proprietary
patented Gennex colorant system to
provide the ultimate exterior coating.
This high solids formula is suitable
for a variety of exterior surfaces and
can be applied as low as 40 F.
Attributes include improved hiding,
especially in dark colors, superior adhe-
sion and excellent resistance to chalking
as well as low temperature application
and greatly improved resistance to sur-
factant leaching in dark colors. It also
offers excellent flow and leveling, is easy
to apply with a brush, roller or by spray.
It can be cleaned with soap and water; is
resistant to fading, cracking, peeling,
blistering, dirt pick-up, alkali and fumes.
Aura Exterior is also mildew
resistant, specially formulated to
contain agents which inhibit the
growth of mildew on the surface of
the paint film. It offers fast dry and
recoat times, is vapor permeable,
offers color lock technology and
extreme UV resistance.
Arborcoat Waterborne Exterior
Stains offer low odor, repel UV rays,
are water and mildew resistant and
tinted with the Gennex colorant sys-
tem. Arborcoat Stains also contain
under 100 grams VOC per liter.
Five products comprise the Arborcoat
family. Transparent, Semi Transparent
and Protective Clear Coat provide
exceptional protection while allowing
the natural color and texture of the
wood to show through. Transparent and
Semi Transparent are a unique compo-
sition of both water dispersible alkyds
with acrylic resins. The alkyd portion
allows for deep penetration and the
acrylic resins deliver incomparable
durability over time. Protective Clear
Coat ensures added defense against
foot traffic and the elements. Semi Solid
and Solid are acrylic formulations with
superior protection. CW
Benjamin Moores Arborcoat
Coatings World spoke to Matt Robertson, global marketing director, DuPont
Performance Coatings, Refinish Systems about the state of the refinish market
including the impact of the recession as well as some of DuPonts latest technology.
BY TIM WRIGHT
EDITOR
What is the current state of the auto refinish
market on a global level as well as in the
NAFTA, Western & Eastern European and ROW
(rest of world) markets?
Matt Robertson, global marketing direc-
tor, DuPont Performance Coatings,
Refinish Systems: The market in North
America and Western Europe is bounc-
ing back a little slower than we would
have guessed in mid-2009. As opposed to
a steady recovery to 2008 volume levels
over two to three years, it now appears
these markets have sought a new, lower
volume level and will show only incre-
mental growth in the immediate future.
Of course, that growth picture is vastly
different based on the segment youre
talking about. We see strength in the
U.S. MSO segment as further consolida-
tion happens, and increases in the econ-
omy sector as cost pressures force some
work in that direction.
Its no secret that India and China
continue to boom, both in premium and
economy segments, so we see continued
strong growth there. The China market
is particularly dynamic with the rise in
power of OEMs and buying groups and
rapid growth of the economy segment.
ROW we see as a mixed bag. Premium
and economy segments in both Latin
America and Eastern Europe should see
better-than-GDP growth, as should
developing Asian countries excluding
China and India. In developed Asia, we
are looking for a modest growth outlook.
China is particularly dynamic for a
few reasons. Extremely rapid growth of
the car park in all segments is one. Im
not sure a few years ago I would have
guessed that Porsche would sell more
cars in China in 2012 than in Germany
or that China would produce more pas-
senger cars than the U.S. in such a
short time.
In addition, there is a huge number of
domestic OEMs fighting to grow and, in
some cases, sell internationally. There is
also a huge push on the part of existing
OEMs for central billing agreements
with the multi-national paint suppliers.
In China there is also a rapidly evolv-
ing insurance situation and a large num-
ber of local players, particularly in the
economy segments.
What are your thoughts on the effect the reces-
sion has had and continues to have on the
market?
Robertson: Clearly the recession has had
a dramatic impact on our markets. Many
of our leading indicatorsmiles driven,
consumer confidence, claims frequency
and the vehicle repair indexshow lots
of weakness. On the consumer side, many
people decided to live with minor collision
damage instead of triggering a deductible
and getting their cars repaired. On the
supplier side, shops, distributors and
paint suppliers drew down inventories to
generate more cash. I think this type of
downturn makes a lot of people in our
value chain hesitant to invest until they
see signs of a strong recovery. We see it as
a once in a decade chance to grow our
share in targeted segments.
What are the current trends and issues in the
market? What challenges does the market face
moving forward in the years to come?
Robertson: Their are several prevalent
and impactful issues in the market such
In the Shop With DuPont Refinish Systems
as overcapacity in developed markets.
This means shops have to select those
paint suppliers that will be great part-
ners in helping them survive and thrive
in their marketplace.
Continued consolidation and rising
strength of MSOs and mega-dealers
in the U.S. is another trend as is the
continued demand on the part of
body shops, globally, for paint and
supporting systems that deliver
greater productivity.
VOC legislation in many nations is
driving a push to waterborne systems
and continued pressure from OEMs,
insurance companies and consumers
is squeezing available margin space.
Lastly, growing economy segments in
developing markets are requiring busi-
ness models beyond the traditional mix-
ing machine/body shop model prevalent
in premium segments. A potential bar-
rier to growing business in these mar-
kets is the shortage of qualified, trained
technicians.
What are the key issues with your customers
and how is your company addressing those
needs?
Robertson: Clearly everyone needs a
paint system that is robust, reliable,
productive and provides great color
match. With shops under greater pres-
sure for improved cost and throughput,
there is an ever-increasing desire for
paint that hides better and dries faster.
In response we work hard to maintain
our leadership in paint technology and
feel like those companies whose next
generation of waterborne paint sprays
like solvent instead of taking a techno-
logical leap forward will be at a com-
petitive disadvantage.
Continuing to be seen as the premiere
business partner for the body shop
owner requires much more in addition to
the best paint, so we focus a great deal of
our effort on the non-paint pieces of our
value proposition. The key is driving
more business to our body shops, and
then driving those cars through the body
shop faster and more efficiently. This
means heavy investment in our
Performance Alliance network, insur-
ance relationships, lean consulting, pro-
prietary color systems and offerings
uniquely tailored to serving the needs of
specific segments. We believe weve got
the best non-paint value proposition to
the body shop to go with our world-class
paint systems.
What is the latest technology being utilized
in the market?
Robertson: DuPont is a technology leader
with over 35,000 patentsan average of
about one every other day since our
founding in 1802. So, we could constant-
ly advance the state-of-the-art in
advanced coatings technologies. But I
don't think the wider auto refinish mar-
ket is asking for nanotechnology or
smart coatings, for example. They are
asking for technology tha most cost-effec-
tively allows the shop to bring in busi-
ness and make repairs with a perfect
color match. So our latest technology
innovations are tools to help connect the
shop to insurance companies and tools
that allow faster and better color match
such as DuPont's Performance Services
and best-in-class spectrophotometers
and electronic color delivery systems.
Our newest and most important prod-
uct is our water based Cromax-Pro line.
Its clearly the most productive water-
borne on the market, providing better
hiding and color match than any com-
petitive offering, allowing for significant-
ly better throughput times and greatly
reduced energy consumption.
Are there any other developments on DuPonts
refinish front worth noting?
Robertson: We are constantly on the
lookout for ways to grow what is the
largest and most successful refinish
business in the world. To that end, we
continue to assess tactical acquisitions
that expand our footprint either geo-
graphically or into an adjacent seg-
ment. One highlight for us is the open-
ing of our new Coatings Technology
Center. We closed an outdated facility
and have stood up our U.S. technology
organization in a new state-of-the-art,
multi-million dollar facility at DuPonts
Experimental Station, our worldwide
technology headquarters. This is a
major commitment to ensure our con-
tinued product and technology leader-
ship in the industry and allows our sci-
entists to leverage the knowledge of our
wider technology organization that has
continuously produced market-altering
innovations. CW
DUPONT PERFORMANCE COATINGS PARTNERS WITH THE BODY SHOP
DuPont Performance Coatings (DPC) has partnered with The Body Shop,
which specializes in lean collision repair. The agreement between the parties
covers the sharing of The Body Shops Star-Link Collision Repair System, a
Kaizen centered lean business model that was developed by John Sweigart
and Brad Sullivan over the past 12 years. The model is currently practiced in
all of The Body Shops Pittsburgh and
New Jersey locations, as well as in
several other independent repair
shops in the United States and
Canada. DPC is partnering with The
Body Shop to offer a refined version of
the model to DPC body shops. The
Body Shop operates a customer-
focused group of collision repair cen-
ters with plans to continue rapid
expansion over the coming years. Sweigart and Sullivan created the Star-Link
Collision Repair Network, made up exclusively of repairers who are committed
to genuine improvement through Kaizen. This group exists to promote to the
customer a substantially better offering, and to work together through shared
learning for the sake of a better collision repair industry, according to the com-
pany. DPC will offer courses at NACE, SEMA and other events featuring the
learning from exposure to The Body Shop.

Valspar, Habitat unveil house of paint cans
T
o celebrate the donation of over 1 million gallons of
paint to Habitat for Humanity International,
Valspar created a two-storey home made of Valspar
paint cans at an event in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Valspar
has donated cash and paint cans to Habitat for Humanity
since 1979. The company developed a close relationship
with the organization and created A Brush with Kindness,
a program transforming neighborhoods through the revi-
talization of the home exterior.
Our corporate theme is if it matters, were on it. Through
our wonderful relationship with Habitat for Humanity
International, we continue to learn just how much affordable
housing matters, and it is our great pleasure to help address
this important need, said William Mansfield, Valspar chair-
man and CEO in a statement. We are also very proud that A
Brush with Kindness, a pilot effort that started right here in
the Twin Cities, is now a national program.
One million gallons of paint is an important milestone,
but what were really celebrating is how our partnership
with Habitat for Humanity has allowed Valspar the unique
opportunity to transform neighborhoods, by putting fresh
coats of paint on homes, said Gary Hendrickson, Valspar
president and COO in a statement.
As we seek to build strong communities, we find that
together new construction, rehabs, repairs and even a coat
of paint on some houses can improve neighborhoods, said
Mark Crozet, senior vice president of resource development
for Habitat for Humanity International in a statement.
Valspar is a great partner in helping us touch all the hous-
es in neighborhoods where we are focusing on revitaliza-
tion. We are very grateful for their support.
Valspar became a national partner of Habitat in 2002. CW
Valspar and Habitat for Humanity recently celebrated the one-millionth donated can of paint with a house made
of paint cans.
