Crown Trade Fastflow goes from strength to strength in the marketplace

Crown Paints is widening opportunities for specifiers to introduce its pioneering water-based Crown Trade Fastflow system to exterior and interior projects.

Following extensive research and development, the UK paint manufacturer is bringing a satin finish to its popular Crown Trade Fastflow range for 2017.

Since its launch two years ago, Crown Trade Fastflow has built-up a following in the specification sector as the ideal choice where a low odour and quick drying product are required.

As the newest recruit, Crown Trade Fastflow Quick Dry Satin retains these key brand features.

It features advanced water based technology to offer the characteristics of a traditional solvent based product - with the benefits of a water based formulation.

As a result the product delivers a highly professional, contemporary finish, fast drying performance and a low odour, as well as slower yellowing when compared to traditional alkyd systems.

Due to its fast-drying qualities, two coats can be applied in one day, therefore reducing time and labour costs – a crucial factor for public and private sector specification projects.

Of major significance is the fact it has also been manufactured to Crown’s renowned Breatheasy® formulation, which means it is 99 per cent solvent free - a key attribute which today’s customers are increasingly requesting.

Crown Trade Fastflow Quick Dry Satin comes to the market following the launch in 2015 of Crown Trade Fastflow Quick Dry Gloss and Quick Dry Primer Undercoat, which were well-received among specification clients.

They recognised the qualities of a product which performs like it’s oil-based with attributes of a water-based system and leaves great lasting colour too.

Sharon Smith, Crown Trade Brand Manager, said: “We were really pleased with the reception Crown Trade Fastflow Gloss received at its launch.

“We invested heavily in research and development to ensure it offered the trade the right paint for the job for both indoor and outdoor use – and would set the pace for the future in terms of style, speed, substance and sustainability.

“These same qualities remain at the fore with Crown Trade Fastflow Quick Dry Satin. It represents a break-through in innovation and all the reassurance of our experience and heritage, which stretches back more than 200 years.”
