Since its launch in early 2005, the Monicolour F system has been successfully introduced by leading manufacturers of facade paints.
The addition of the two new colourants Turquoise and Cobalt Green offers new colour opportunities.
With the total range of 12 Monicolour F colourants, manufacturers can not only make the more traditional colours of commonly known facade colour collections, but also surprise their customers with fresh and vivid colours.
Monicolour F is currently offering a wide colour variety in the yellow-orange-red colour space.
The Cobalt Green and Turquoise colourants are expanding this into the green area.
For colour marketing purposes, CPS colour has developed the Spirit S286 colour card: a special fandeck for Monicolour F colourants.
Monicolour F is especially suitable for waterborne facade paints Monicolour F can be used in typical facade products such as silicone emulsion paints, silicate dispersions, acrylic plasters, but it also is suitable for tinting water borne acrylate latexes.
The main driver in the development of Monicolour F has been to offer a colourant system that does not affect the chemistry and special properties of facade paints, such as water repellence, drying performance and viscosity.
Monicolour F is a unique colourant range for facade tinting and it enables architects, professional painters and plasterers to provide their customers with a wide range of different colour designs and intriguing surface textures.
