ECOBOND® LeadDefender® Announces New & Improved Formula for Lead Paint Treatment Focused on Contact Coverage & Hide-Ability.

new and improved lead paint treatment

news source: Cision

ECOBOND® LeadDefender® and ECOBOND® LeadDefender® PRO have a new and improved formula with improved hiding and coverage during application and beyond. The same patented, lead treating technology can now be found in a more painter-friendly coating.

 
ECOBOND® LeadDefender® is a lead treatment with paint as the delivery mechanism and listening to field research, the current formulation was improved.

"We are always striving to improve the quality of life and sustainability. We appreciate feedback, so thank you to our customers for helping us improve our eco-friendly environmental family of paint products. " stated James Barthel, President and creator of ECOBOND®. Barthel continued, "The ability that our new resin gives to us, allows for improvements beyond the capabilities that were possible with our previous resin. We didn't want to lose any of the powerful lead treatment capabilities by providing a higher quality paint, but now, with our new resin, we have found that we have been able to make the improvements that were desired in the field without losing any of the treatment capabilities. This now provides improved product performance for application while maintaining the true lead treating ability of the products."

ECOBOND® remains a "dry-hide" performing paint, and now provides better coverage and improved hiding capabilities while wet; and once dry, performs much like other high-quality latex paints. An interview with the manufacturer discussing "dry hide" can be viewed on the corporate website.

The Lead Problem Came in a Paint Can - the Solution Can Too! ECOBOND® - LeadDefender® is so much more than just paint! This is a one-of-a-kind solution and is the only paint product that seals & treats existing lead paint applications & controls the spread of airborne lead to reduce lead hazards.
