This solution restores a variety of roof types and works just as well for new or replacement roofing projects.
• Watco launched All-in-One Lacquer + Color, which delivers an ultra-high gloss, tintable lacquer finish for bare wood and painted surfaces, eliminating the need for sanding or priming. It dries to the touch in one hour and provides a smooth surface and long-lasting protection against surface scratches.

2019 Success Stories
Carboline, a global leader in coatings, linings and fireproofing, recently hosted the grand opening of its Carboline Fire-Science Research Center at 350 Hanley Industrial Court in St Louis, MO. This six-million-dollar addition to Carboline’s Research, Development and Innovation Center allows Carboline to accelerate its speed to market by three years.
Guardian Protection Products recently won a silver Stevie Award in the Customer Service Innovation category during the 14th annual Stevie Awards for Sales & Customer Service, the world’s top honors for customer service, contact center, business development and sales professionals. The event organizes eight of the world’s leading business awards programs, including the prestigious American Business Awards and International Business Awards.
One major international project is the new Jumeirah Gate Tower being developed in Dubai. A mixed-use development consisting of two 74-story, high-rise towers, it will feature a five-star hotel, serviced apartments and resident units—all joined at the upper level with a roof-top destination restaurant, bar and infinity pool. Despite strong competition from all major coating manufacturers, Carboline was selected to provide 250,000 liters of its fireproof Carboguard, Nullifire, Firefilm and Carbothane paints and coatings for this landmark project.
Another major project is the Temburong Bridge, a nearly 20-mile mega bridge currently under construction in Brunei. Designed to be the longest over-sea crossing in Southeast Asia, it will connect Mengkubau and Sungai Besar in Brunei-Muara District and Labu Estate in Temburong District. Pitchmastic PmB International, part of the USL Group, was awarded a subcontract to install its PmB structural waterproofing system along the entire length of the bridge. This is one of the largest projects ever undertaken by the USL Group.
