DuraSoy One^tm is a new generation professional grade sustainable bio-based paint technology that is changing all the rules in the paint coatings industry. It's unique chemistry fills the void when comparing performance, sustainability, and cost for professional painters and do-it-yourselfers alike.

DuraSoy One^tm does not contain hazardous ingredients such as propylene glycol or formaldehyde and is virtually odorless. It is a fast drying bio-based low odor paint system that will dry to the touch within 30 minutes to 1 hour for a quick return to service.

PERFORMANCE ATTRIBUTES:

High Solids Technology: DuraSoy One contains over 62% solids which is 2-3 times more than competitive latex paints. That means you achieve up to 300% more film build (dry mils) over the same surface area or achieve higher spread rates in volume comparison. The thick smooth consistency acts like an oil based paint. With very little water content, you are able to reach a desirable mil thickness for a true one coat hide without having your paint drip off the roller or run down the wall. Instead of painting on water that evaporates and leaves little film build, a high quality thicker film build will provide much more wearability than traditionial paint.

Water & Stain Resistance: DuraSoy One, unlike conventional paint technology actually penetrates, bonds and seals within the substrate and leaves a durable water repellent satin finish. This repellency features makes it difficult for foreign matter and contaminants to fully bond to the paint, thus, making it easier to clean. In fact, our satin finish is as easy to clean as a semi-gloss finish but without the sheen.

GREEN ATTRIBUTES:

Just having low or no V.O.C. and low odor is simply not enough to be truly "green" We go a step further by our actual chemical content. DuraSoy One contains bio-based technology, a rewewable resource material, recycled content, contains no V.O.C. and is low odor. We actually combine sustainability with high performance without compromise.

DuraSoy One may assist with Green Building LEED credits under the following categories:

LEED Green Building Rating System:

Materials & Resources:

Building Reuse, MR Credit 1

Local/Regional Materials, MR Credit 5

Indoor Environmental Quality:

Low-Emitting Materials, EQ Credit 4

Our indoor and outdoor compatible technology reduces the number of paint products required and minimizes material use. It's high solids content and repellency features delivers a more durable finish that extends the life of the substrate and reduces the number of recoats required, further reducing material and energy consumption.

DuraSoy One Overview

The Technology:

DuraSoy One^tm is made from rapidly renewable resources. Contains no VOC's, no hazardous ingredients, and very low odor.

Note: As with any paint manufacturer and color pigments, the use of color cards and computer monitor selections are for representation only as substrate type, condition, porosity, lighting, color, manufacturer pigment system, etc. will vary results. Color matching provides a service that closely replicates the desired color. Many colors may be a perfect match, while there may be some colors that are slightly different. This is due to the unlimited number of color tones and different pigment systems used by manufacturers. For more accurate color matching requirements, actual substrate and/or color match swatch is required for factory or store calibration and customer approvals. Your dealer will make its best efforts to achieve a perfect match, but understand, this may not always be possible. All tinted paint colors are considered custom products and all sales are final.
