KNAACK® Jobsite storage products are now manufactured using an exclusive, new powder paint process, offering several distinct advantages and benefits as compared to its previous liquid enamel paint.
The new powder paint process, which now covers the entire line of KNAACK® jobsite products, offers end users improved corrosion resistance, abrasion resistance, scratch resistance, and paint film thickness. The following table summarizes these advantages:
| Measurement |
Powder Paint Improvement from Enamel |
| Corrosion resistance |
5X |
| Abrasion resistance |
2.5X |
| Scratch resistance |
2X |
| Paint Film thickness |
4X |
The testing on this improvement used methods defined by ASTM International (ASTM), originally known as the American Society for Testing and Materials. The ASTM is a standards organization that develops and publishes voluntary consensus technical standards for a wide range of materials, products, systems, and services.
“We are pleased to offer our end users improved protection for their investment in KNAACK® jobsite products,” said Bill Zbylut, VP marketing of Knaack LLC. “Knaack is always looking for ways to continually enhance product performance, and our new powder paint process is another example of KNAACK® leadership. We now offer an advanced solution to contractors who want and expect excellent resistance to corrosion, abrasion and scratching.”
The new KNAACK® powder paint program extends to the Custom Color Paint Program announced this past March. This program offers contractors the opportunity to customize the paint finish on KNAACK® jobsite products.
