Cedar Siding Inc. Upgrades Composite Coating System
Cedar Siding Inc., Rochelle, Il., is installing new industrial mixing equipment to provide composite siding with improved color matching, durability, and resistance to fading and scratching.
Traditionally, the company has produced paint like a typical paint store would, starting with a base and adding colorants to arrive at the desired color. Unfortunately, the added colorants actually reduce the quality of the coating.
"While our customers and the siding installer out on the jobsite like the DuraColor coating we have been using from PPG, they will love the new DuraColor Intermix," said CSI director of sales & marketing Shawn Enoch. "It's the same resin technology people have grown to trust with the DuraColor product. However, by taking nine base colors and mixing them in various proportions as deemed by a computer generated formula, we will arrive at the desired color. The paint will only contain factory ground pigments and no colorants will be added."

In addition to the Intermix system from Rexon, CSI is also installing a spray line designed specifically for fiber cement and engineered wood products. Real cedar siding will continue to be prestained using its modified flow coat system, considered the premier technology for coating wood.
