Innovation & Going Beyond
Tristar is committed to substantial on-going research and development involving formulation advancements coupled with raw material innovations. Durability, appearance, ease of spray application (productivity), and cost are the driving criteria. Lowering VOC (volatile organic compounds) content well beyond both environmental and industry requirements are always paramount to any formulation.
In addition, existing formulations are routinely customized to facilitate performance and/or productivity gains specific to a customer’s needs. Pot life, dry times, adhesion properties, durability requirements, hiding, and even colour or gloss challenges, etc. can all be adjusted to meet specific and unique requirements specific to the customer.
