The same technology has also been introduced into the company's ProMar 200 line. "Research and Development over the years has delivered new technology that now provides a product with good open time, flow and leveling and resistance to yellowing." "Earlier waterbased acrylic alkyds had problems with poor package stability, and the products tended to dry too quick and yellow," says Steve Revnew, Vice President of Product Development at Sherwin-Williams. With this new product, painters can offer their customers all the environmental benefits of a waterbased enamel with the application and mirrorlike finish of an alkyd - and with less than 50g/L VOCs it meets environmental regulations. In 2010, Sherwin-Williams took it to the next level with the release of ProClassic Waterbased Acrylic Alkyd. Continual improvements over the years to adhesion, durability and block resistance have made converts even out of many die-hard ProClassic Alkyd fans. The introduction of ProClassic Acrylic Enamel gave contractors a waterbased option for this popular product. It has excellent flow and leveling and painters could get a sprayed look even with a brush or roller. The traditional alkyd formula inspired loyalty for its smooth, hard finish that minimized surface imperfections and that stood up well in high traffic, tough-use areas. Sherwin-Williams ProClassic Alkyd Enamel has long been many pro painter's preferred coating for interior trim, molding, cabinets, doors and windows. This breakthrough technology is now available in two high performance product lines popular with professionals: ProMar 200 and ProClassic. One result of the industry's ongoing research is the development of a waterbased acrylic alkyd technology that has the best qualities of both. With the emergence of the green construction movement, the emphasis has been on developing waterbased paints that deliver the high performance of alkyds and still meet strict environmental regulations. That started to change as paint manufacturers continued to develop better waterbased paints. Each had its advantages and disadvantages.Įarly on, pros generally preferred alkyds for performance reasons. ![]() From then on, painting contractors had a choice between oil-based alkyds and waterbased latex coatings. In 1941, Sherwin-Williams introduced Super Kem-Tone, the world's first latex house paint. IN THE BEGINNING, all ready-mixed house paints were oil-based.
