Probably the most environment-friendly and highly resistant new product range of paints that employs the latest technology is now available in the Middle East with the launch of Sigma Guardian Nano Paint in a glittering ceremony at the Sheraton Doha recently. Sigma Guardian Nano and the latest Sigma Guardian product range utilise Nanometric Painting System or NPS technology which employs tiny particles called ‘nano’ to fill up the holes in paint film surfaces creating superior smooth outer layer, resulting to a surface highly resistant to dust and sand, vital to withstanding extreme weather conditions in Qatar as well as other Middle Eastern countries. “Sigma guardian systems and its Nano particles is the result of a big idea translated into a small defensive particle against humidity, scratch, dulling and aging, especially formulated to suit the harsh exposure conditions prevalent in the GCC. The meteoric power of nanotechnology now provides us with the universal exterior protection and surface radiance we desire for our homes, properties and buildings,” said Malcolm Page, General Manager, Sigma Paints Qatar, during the launch yesterday. Sigma Guardian Nano also has a host of unmatched characteristics including alkali resistance, anti-carbonation, longer colour retention anti-moisture properties, and resistance to UV radiation and the effects of efflorescence. Mike Murphy, Sigma Paints Decorative Technical Support Manager said the development of cutting-edge nanotechnology reflects the increasing expectations of consultants, architects, contractors and owners who recognise the need for solutions that offer superior aesthetic qualities and long term financial benefits of extended paint life protection. Sigma Paints has carved an indelible niche in the construction industry as a leader in product innovation. In addition to the recent introduction of NPS technology, Sigma Paints was the first company in the world to promote water-based technology and environment-friendly paints and first in the world to formulate solvent-free range of products. To reinforce its commitment to environment protection, Sigma Paints conducts regular seminars and training activities for industry professionals on promoting quality and sustainable solutions a contribution toward the aim of a cleaner Qatari environment and greener GCC http://thepeninsulaqatar.com/Display_news.asp?section=Local_News&subsection=Qatar+News&month=July2009&file=Local_News2009071013729.xml
