Dunn-Edwards Corporation has announced the launch of the ULTRASHIELD – a heavy-duty industrial maintenance coatings series designed with professionals in mind. With three different coating options, ULTRASHIELD offers an unmatched solution for commercial, water and wastewater, bridge and highway, healthcare, and various other projects – extending the service life of surfaces, structures, and equipment, notes a press communiqué from the company.

“As a response to the rising demand for long-term asset protection in industrial projects, I’m elated to be pushing forward a line of two-component, problem-solving technology solutions engineered to meet the protective needs in moderate and severe environments,” said Tim Bosveld, Vice President of Product Management at Dunn-Edwards. “ULTRASHIELD provides the critical corrosion, chemical, and abrasion resistance at every stage of the coatings project, allowing you to focus on what’s most important – getting back to work and serving your customers at full capacity.”

The ULTRASHIELD series comprises a complete line of base coats and topcoats to meet the needs of any service environment.

ULTRASHIELD Aluminum Epoxy is a low-VOC, high-performance, aluminum-filled, micaceous iron oxide (MIO) epoxy engineered to provide excellent corrosion protection on marginally prepared steel. For use on metal, masonry, and steel, this base coat/primer can extend service life and enhance film strength with a fast cure rate.

ULTRASHIELD Epoxy Penetrating Sealer is a high-solids, high-performance, universal tie-coat engineered to provide exceptional wicking characteristics that result in outstanding adhesion to a variety of marginally prepared bare and previously coated surfaces. This base coat/primer allows specifiers flexibility of topcoat options and helps to extend the service life.

ULTRASHIELD Gloss Water-Based Epoxy is a high-performance, water-based epoxy engineered to provide very good chemical, corrosion, and abrasion resistance on drywall, concrete, and properly primed steel surfaces. This base coat/primer and topcoat has a fast cure rate, enabling a quick return to service, and is resistant to repeated chemical cleanings.

ULTRASHIELD Gloss Epoxy is a high-performance, high-build, highly chemical- and corrosion-resistant epoxy ideal for use on concrete and steel surfaces. This base coat/primer and topcoat boasts outstanding adhesion and tolerance on marginally prepared surfaces, extending service life, reducing maintenance costs, and increasing overall production.

ULTRASHIELD Acrylic Polyurethanes are high-performance coatings engineered to provide superior impact and abrasion resistance with a durable finish. This ultra-weatherable topcoat saves time and money by reducing maintenance costs, as it can be recoated indefinitely, and is best suited for concrete, metal, or other surfaces that require maximum protection.
