Painting the Town BIN Gray … Or Whatever Color You Need

Written by Kimball Midwest | March 3, 2022
In many shops, spring is a time for painting, whether it’s touching up equipment after a tough winter or just a general spring cleaning.

Are you tired of the endless pile of cans a big painting project can generate? How about the time and money wasted buying, transporting and using all those cans?

That’s where Kimball Midwest’s Ultra Pro•Max line can help. It’s superior to standard spray paints in three big ways:

Economics

The amount of paint solids in Ultra Pro•Max is extremely high. Because of this, it takes two to three cans of a typical paint to give you the coverage of one can of Ultra Pro•Max. Plus, since you need to apply fewer cans of paint per job, there’s a big savings in time.

Performance

Ultra Pro•Max is a superior performance enamel system. In harsh Florida outdoor weather testing against well-known brands, as well as in salt spray testing using ASTM Test Method B-117, Ultra Pro•Max withstood the tests and proved superior.

Environmental Safety and Health

The components of aerosol paint that raise environmental and health concerns are solvents and propellants. These are volatile materials that can be inhaled, and, in very large amounts, can contribute to air pollution. Although aerosol paint solvents are not considered to be highly toxic, repeated and prolonged exposure might lead to health problems.

Ultra Pro•Max has been formulated to reduce the amount of solvent to a low level. This reduces environmental and health hazards. Plus, Ultra Pro•Max contains no methylene chloride, which recent research has indicated may be a cancer-causing agent.

If you think Ultra Pro•Max paints sound right for you, there’s very good chance we have the colors you need: We have more than 100!

Ultra Pro•Max Plus

If you’re seeking an even more impressive paint, Ultra Pro•Max Plus might be what you are looking for. It includes a high-volume nozzle that applies more paint in less time, increasing productivity and further reducing downtime. It also reduces finger fatigue with easier spraying.

Ultra Pro•Max Plus is available in Gloss Black and Gloss White.

Both the original Ultra Pro•Max and Ultra Pro•Max Plus offer extremely high solids with fewer solvents, with one can providing 4.4 times the coverage of an economy paint. That means less solvent exposure for your team and the environment, and fewer cans to be disposed, along with reduced labor costs.

These high-performance paints give you a super tough, long-lasting finish with superior durability against corrosion, chemicals and rough service, and they’re weather resistant to fight fading, chalking and peeling, even under extended outdoor exposure.
