New lacquer shines outdoors

PERMALAC is a new quick-dry, crystal clear coating developed by Peacock Laboratories of Philadelphia. This air-dry lacquer has been engineered to provide highly durable exterior protection on steel, aluminum, copper, silver and bronze as well as, wood, terracotta and concrete. The addition of UV and corrosion inhibitors to PERMALAC assures endurance in harsh conditions ranging from Arctic freezing, to desert heat, to beach front salt air.

In comparison testing on steel surfaces, PERMALAC outperformed well-known exterior lacquers. In another test a brass fitting protected by PERMALAC was subjected to a blowtorch for 10 seconds; it did not discolor. Once PERMALAC protection has been applied, users can count on ten years of service or more before re-coating is required.

PERMALAC air dries to the touch in less than 5 minutes and dries hard to a highly durable finish in an hour or so, depending on the film thickness, temperature etc. It is available in 12 ounce spray cans, quarts, gallons, 5 gallon containers or 55 gallon drums. In addition PERMALAC can be ordered in glossy, matte or satin finishes and is available in clear, black or red.
