Davis-Frost Weatherhide® Exterior Paint to Include Microban® Antimicrobial Technology
Huntersville, NC (PRWEB) February 19, 2014 -- Microban International, Ltd., the global leader in built-in antimicrobial product protection, is pleased to announce that their partnership with Davis-Frost is now expanding into exterior paint. In March 2014, Davis-Frost will launch their Weatherhide® line of exterior paint with Microban® antimicrobial technology and is the first paint company using the Microban brand in exterior paint.
Weatherhide brand exterior paint is 100% acrylic and comes in a semi-gloss finish for house and trim. Weatherhide paints are also durable, have optimum color retention, low VOC with zero VOC colorants and have a 5-year mold and mildew warranty. And now, Microban technology is infused to help keep painted surfaces cleaner over its lifetime by inhibiting the growth of stain and odor causing bacteria, mold and mildew.
"We have been extremely pleased with the market acceptance of our interior Perfection product line, which contains Microban protection. We look forward with excitement toward the introduction of the first exterior paint product to be protected by Microban," stated Cal Henning, President of Davis-Frost.
Microban protection works continuously to keep exterior painted surfaces cleaner and looking beautiful for longer than ever before. And because Microban technology is infused into the paint during the manufacturing process, it won’t wash off or wear away for protection that lasts the useful life of the coating.
“We are very excited to expand our partnership with Davis-Frost into their Weatherhide brand of exterior paint,” says Richard Chapman, VP Marketing for Microban International. “Our technology is a great fit for this product application, working continuously to help prevent the growth of stain and odor causing bacteria, mold and mildew on exterior painted surfaces.”
