Trailer dealers and manufacturers are coming together to showcase their latest innovations at the 2024 NATDA Trailer Show in Nashville, August 28-29. For the first time, Sherwin-Williams General Industrial Coatings Division will be among the exhibitors, featuring a robust portfolio of advanced finishing solutions for the trailer market.
Sherwin-Williams has supported top trailer OEMs and dealerships for decades, helping them stand out with leading color, aesthetics and field durability. For their NATDA debut, the Company is highlighting two product lines, both designed to boost process efficiencies, prevent corrosion claims and deliver showroom aesthetics that shine noticeably throughout the toughest daily use.
“It can be difficult to explain how a choice in coatings can end up boosting production capabilities. Yet, that’s what these products can deliver,” said Matt Flory, Global Business Director, Sherwin-Williams General Industrial Transportation Division. “We’ve helped transportation customers switch to Duraspar IP and boost their capacity up to 50%, while at the same time decreasing total finishing costs.”
Offering outstanding hide and sag resistance in a smooth, high-gloss finish, Duraspar IP is trusted by trailer OEMs and dealers worldwide for improving first pass yield and reducing overall paint process time. Its proven ability to minimize rework makes it an excellent option for those looking to improve product quality while minimizing total applied costs.
Duraspar IP is gaining momentum in the trailer industry, not only for its ability to help OEMs stand out, but also because it’s extremely simple to apply. Even new painters can achieve a smooth, quality finish with limited training and rework. As many in the industry face labor shortages and high turnover rates, finding a solution that delivers on aesthetic and performance requirements without the high costs of training can be a game changer.
Powdura OneCure is a proprietary technology specifically designed for edge coverage and corrosion resistance. It offers efficiency improvements by eliminating the need to gel or cure the primer before applying the topcoat, delivering industrial performance and durability, while speeding up cycle times and lowering total applied finishing costs. This patented formula is extremely versatile and can work with different resin systems in the primer and topcoat to fit individual needs. For example, customers can use a zinc-rich epoxy primer with a super durable TGIC-free topcoat to achieve extreme weatherability and performance.
Duraspar IP and Powdura OneCure are available in an expansive range of solid and metallic colors, a selection of which will be displayed at the NATDA Trailer Show. Attendees are encouraged to stop by the Sherwin-Williams booth (2124) to view the breadth of available options and discover how transitioning can streamline their finishing operations, increase throughput and, ultimately, increase profitability.
The Sherwin-Williams General Industrial Coatings team will also be hosting giveaways throughout the show. NATDA attendees are welcome to stop by the booth for a chance to win.
