Economic Advantages
- Today, finishes are delivered to job sites in plastic pails as wet products. By removing the water from the product and using our advanced dry polymer technology, Dry-Tex provides numerous unique benefits that cannot be duplicated with traditional wet finish.
- Less Weight Means More Portability
- Traditional finishes are much more expensive to ship. By shipping the product dry, Dry-Tex eliminates close to 40% of the weight. Considering that most finishes are shipped at least twice – from the manufacturer to a distribution partner then on to a job site – this creates a 40% freight savings.
Less Weight Means More Productivity- Productivity stays high on projects that use Dry-Tex because workers suffer less fatigue from hauling heavy pails around the job site. This also directly relates to fewer injuries and the associated costs incurred.
Less Water Means More Climate Compatibility- Taking the water out of Dry-Tex eliminates the freeze-thaw stability issues associated with wet acrylic finishes. This amazing product will not react to freezing temperatures, thus eliminating the need for heated transportation and storage during the cooler months.
Environmental Advantages
- As a whole, the construction industry has the greatest environmental impact on the planet – even greater than transportation. Parex USA has always been focused on developing innovative, high performance products; but is also a leader in seeking innovative, environmentally friendly solutions. Dry-Tex is a perfect example of this commitment.
Less Packaging Means Less Impact on Landfills- Traditional plastic pails are big and bulky items that will end-up in landfills and take many decades to biodegrade. As a dry product, Dry-Tex is packaged in paper bags which can be recycled and will easily and quickly biodegrade.
Less VOCs Mean Less Air Contamination- As a dry product, Dry-Tex is VOC free. It does not require the raw materials containing VOCs found in traditional acrylic finishes. When the product is opened and mixed with water at the job site, less harmful vapors are emitted into the air. This creates a cleaner, safer environment.
Less Weight Means Less Fuel- By reducing the weight by 40% but not giving-up coverage, Dry-Tex delivers the same square footage for less fuel in transit.
Limitless Possibilities
- High Performance Guaranteed
- Dry-Tex may look different because it is delivered in dry form, but once hydrated it performs like any traditional wet acrylic finish. This product has been designed and tested to provide equal quality in handling, application, and flexibility. In fact, once hydrated on the job site, a seasoned applicator cannot tell the difference between Dry-Tex and a traditional wet acrylic product.
Less Packaging Means Less Impact on Landfills- Traditional plastic pails are big and bulky items that will end-up in landfills and take many decades to biodegrade. As a dry product, Dry-Tex is packaged in paper bags which can be recycled and will easily and quickly biodegrade.
- Limitless Design Potential
- Dry-Tex is available in several textures and can be matched to virtually any color. Architects and designers can mimic almost any look imaginable – from traditional stucco to lap sidings, to brick facades. Simply, there is no other acrylic finish on the market that offers many valuable benefits such as: freight savings, sustainable environmental and unlimited design capabilities.
- Parex USA has raised the bar with the introduction of Dry-Tex . . . when less is more.
