Additive for Cermakrome.

During very hot and/or dry weather, Cermakrome can dry extremely fast. Even with the use of the low humidity blend and or the addition of additional water, to slow the drying of the coating, it can still dry too quickly. Adding water beyond a certain volume can make the coating too runny. This is a particular problem in the Southwest where extremely low humidity coupled with high temperatures create a drying problem.

We now have available an additive to slow the coating’s drying rate that does not significantly thin the coating. This allows a large part to be completely coated with the coating staying “wet” long enough for a proper film to form, assuring the best polished appearance. Reasonably priced and since only a small amount is needed to thin the coating, it is very economical.

Coatings Market

The market for coatings remains extremely strong. While we see some slowing in the Automotive Aftermarket our sales are still well ahead of last year. This is a good indication of the health of the Industry. In addition Industrial accounts are becoming a major source of business. We encourage all applicators to evaluate their local area for Industrial and Commercial business accounts. We have several coating systems that are available for applications that are not sold to the Automotive market and do not appear on our existing web site. Call with any application that you may have.

Fuel Surcharge

Like everyone we are seeing higher shipping charges and have determined that we must implement a fuel surcharge and will include it in our shipping charges. The current charge is $5.00 for all orders over $50.00. The increase will only apply to orders over $100.00 and the charge will now be $7.50 per box. Orders under $50.00 will pay no additional fee, per our current policy, and orders between $50.00 and $100.00 will continue to pay the old fee of $5.00.

When fuel prices moderate and we see a decline in the surcharges we pay, we will adjust our charge accordingly.

This will not change our freight paid policy on all orders over $1000.00 net. Freight will continue to be paid by Tech Line on such orders when shipped by ground within the 48 contiguous States.
