Atlas Material Testing Technology LLC’s patented temperature- and moisture-controlled EMMAQUA devices, located at the outdoor testing facility in Phoenix, AZ

inPAINT | Dec 2017/Jan 2018

When it comes to exterior work, fade resistance is one of the most important attributes of a coating.

But how exactly do manufacturers test for fade resistance when there are only so many hours of sun in a day? For many manufacturers, the answer is EMMAQUA. Short for Equatorial Mount with Mirrors for Acceleration with Water, EMMAQUA concentrates natural sunlight via 10 highly reflective, specially coated mirrors onto painted surfaces with the intensity of approximately eight suns. Plus, the device exposes painted surfaces to the full spectrum of sunlight, making it one of the most realistic accelerated tests available.

For manufacturers, this means years of product exposure can be simulated in a significantly shorter time frame.

Curb appeal that doesn’t peel California Paints, tough enough to withstand the most severe weather and add beauty and value to home exteriors for years to come. Why use anything else?

Brush tips: HOW TO CARE FOR A PAINT BRUSH SO THAT IT MAINTAINS ITS PERFORMANCE LEVEL - Clean immediately after use using paint thinner or kerosene with bristle brushes; soap and water with nylon/polyester brushes.

- Use a brush comb to clean and straighten the bristles.

- Do not soak your brushes for extended periods of time or they will lose their shape.

- If possible, store your brush by hanging it; never store a brush on its tips, as this will curl the working tip of the brush, rendering if useless.

For complex cutting situations on exterior trim, the handles and bristles of Wooster brushes feel right for his technique.
