Recent developments in Aus tralian paints and brush manufacturing industries are being acclaimed in Australia and overseas.
The world’s first water thinned high-gloss enamel is available for export and the holder of the formula is will ing to licence its manufacture in nominated overseas areas.
The new paint embodies all the advantages of the popular flat and stain plastic paints and can be used for both ex terior and interior work.
It removes the need for tur pentine, sealers, primers and undercoats.
The invention by a 34-year old Sydney chemist, Mr. Louis Miranda, has been acknow ledged as a ’’world first” by paint authorities in Britain and the United States.
Another development in Australia has been the pro duction of special paints for tropical areas, ranging from oil paints for exterior work and synthetic gloss and semi lustre finishes for interiors, to sealers, primers, undercoats and c o r r o s i o n-resistant metal primers..
These paints are now being tried under field conditions in Fiji and Papua-New Guinea.
An Australian company has also produced the world’s first wedgeless paint brush which is rapidly winning favour with both professional and handyman painters.
