Brands Overview
RPM has a diverse portfolio with hundreds of brand name products, many of which hold the leadership position in terms of market share and sales in the markets they serve.
According to the company, brand leadership affords RPM’s operating companies a number of advantages, including the ability to command premium pricing, shorten sales cycles and gain repeat purchases due to brand loyalty. The following products were recently launched:
• Carboline Carbozinc 608 HB Zinc Rich Epoxy Primer can eliminate the epoxy intermediate coat of a typical 3-coat system;
• RPM Belgium Vandex Matacryl bridge deck waterproofing system can be applied in low temperatures and is fully weather resistant in 45-60 minutes;
• Rust-Oleum RockSolid Professional Polycuramine coatings are 20 times stronger than traditional epoxy floor coatings.
RPM’s Tremco Roofing’s AlphaGuard bio-based polyurethane coating system was used to restore Ford Field’s 340,000-square-foot domed roof in Detroit, Michigan. Roof restoration typically costs one-third to one-half as much as a replacement. After performing comprehensive diagnostics of the 14-year-old PVC single ply roof and finding minimal damage, Tremco Roofing recommended restoring the roof instead of replacing it. Spot repairs were made, the roof cleaned with the environmentally-friendly RoofTec system, and the durable AlphaGuard BIO fluid applied system installed.
In addition to waterproofing the roof, AlphaGuard BIO’s highly reflective topcoat can help reduce energy use as it absorbs much less heat than a traditional black roof. The project was completed in about 60 days, compared to a possible nine months for replacement.

• Rust-Oleum: No. 1 brand recognition and market share position in the U.S. and Canada in the rust-preventative, decorative, specialty and professional segments of the small-project paint category

• Zinsser: A leader in brand recognition and market share position in the U.S. market for specialty primers and sealers and wallcovering sundries
• Pettit: The global market leader in water-based antifouling paints for the marine industry
