Ceramic Coat
O'Leary Paint's Ceramic Coat Interior Premium 100% Acrylic Waterborne Latex Enamel with Ceramic Stain-Release Technology and Microban®
The paint industry buzzword: CERAMIC
Ceramic technology – the incorporation of ceramic microspheres into a waterborne paint formula – has been available to the paint industry for the past few years. It is only recently, however, that the microscopic ceramic beads have become more affordable for use in architectural coatings.
What are ceramic microspheres?
O'Leary's CERAMIC COAT paints contain ceramic microspheres which are manufactured exclusively by 3M. Think of ceramic microspheres as tiny, microscopic ball bearings. They are perfectly round (spherical) in shape and so fine that the raw materials look like a fine white powder.
In paint formulas, these ceramic beads are used in conjunction with a high quality 100% acrylic resin to create a hard, smooth surface that is extremely resistant to stains, burnishing and abrasion. Ceramic microspheres take the place of conventional extender pigments (such as clay, silica sand, etc.). Conventional extender pigment particles are irregular in size and shape and have jagged peaks and sharp edges which can wear down or . The irregular shapes trap dirt and make washing and stain removal more difficult. Ceramic microspheres pack together much more efficiently, reducing permeability and improving stain resistance. Plus, because of their smooth shape, the paint applies with improved brushing and rolling qualities.
Plus, O'Leary Paint's CERAMIC COAT contains Microban® Antimicrobial Protection
Not only does O'Leary Paint's Ceramic Coat have the power of increased stain-resistance and improved cleansibility, it will stay cleaner between washings because of Microban® Antimicrobial Product Protection.
Microban® fights the growth of stains and odor-causing bacteria, mold and mildew that form on painted surfaces. Microban antimicrobial protection is built-in during the process of manufacturing CERAMIC COAT and is non-water soluble so it won't wash off. It provides around the clock protection from the growth of microbes on the dried paint film. With Microban®, CERAMIC COAT stays looking beautiful and fresh, longer than ordinary paints.
The built-in protection of Microban® makes CERAMIC COAT the ideal coating for bathrooms, kitchens, dining rooms and eating areas, nurseries, schools, restaurants, medical and healthcare facilities and more.
