ePaint Company Receives Follow-on Contract from the United States Air Force.

Thu, 17 Jul 2008 04:00:00 +0100

Following the successful conclusion of last year’s research contract dedicated to developing new technologies for the elimination of ice formation on aircraft surfaces, the United States Air Force has rewarded ePaint Company with a follow-on contract to continue this important project. The goal of the current research is developing a commercially viable product for military aviation as well as the commercial aviation industry. The research project will again be headed up by Alex Walsh with assistance from staff members Michael Goodwin and Brett Gall. The current project will run through mid-2010. Penn Shade, VP Sales & Business Development, noted that ePaint’s current ice-phobic research represents a viable alternative to the high cost and high environmental impact of current anti-icing/de-icing technologies and could provide a potential boost to the company’s sales in 2011 and beyond.

ePaint Company Launches New Paint for Sailors

Mon, 03 Mar 2008 05:00:00 +0100

ePaint Company announced today that it has released ZO HP for nationwide distribution. This high performance anti-fouling paint was designed with the sailing racer in mind. According to Alex Walsh, President and Director of Research, ZO HP was formulated with new space age fluoro-polymers, which produce a hard, light-weight, drag reducing finish which is easily wet sanded for a very sleek finish. Although the product was specifically engineered for racing sail boats, it is also well-suited for cruising sail boats and power boats, as well. Like all of ePaint’s coatings, ZO HP has exceptional anti-fouling properties while containing no copper or tin compounds. Lack of copper and tin compounds combined with low VOC characteristics makes ZO HP an excellent addition to ePaint’s line of environmentally friendly bottom paints.

ePaint Company was recently chosen by the United States Air Force

Wed, 22 Aug 2007 04:00:00 +0100

ePaint Company was recently chosen by the United States Air Force to undertake a research project dedicated to developing new technologies for eliminating ice formation on aircraft surfaces. The first phase of the project will run through the end of 2007. The research will be under the direction of Alex Walsh, who will be assisted by Michael Goodwin. Michael Goodwin has previously conducted similar research for the United States Navy. Ice formation presents a significant hazard to both maritime and aviation interests. Development of a new ice phobic coating will advance the interests of safety in these two important areas. ePaint Company is a leader in coatings research with an emphasis on marine antifouling paints.

A group of three investors, led by Penn Shade, has recently acquired a majority stake in privately held ePaint Company of Falmouth, MA. ePaint Company was established in 1991 to market environmentally friendly antifouling marine coatings developed by Cape Cod Research, an affiliate company. Ongoing research at ePaint has produced three patented coatings and several EPA registrations for antifouling coatings used in a wide variety of marine applications.

The company’s products are unique in their leading-edge technology which controls bio-fouling without the use of harmful metal additives normally used in antifouling coatings. ePaint Company serves the fishing industry, the recreational boating industry, the transportation industry, as well as several government entities including the US Coast Guard and the US Navy. In the near term, Shade will serve in a leadership role while the company reorganizes its marketing strategy. Alex Walsh, company president, will remain in his present position.

E Paint Partners with Solo Sailor Bruce Schwab to Promote Green Boating Maintenance

Mon, 15 May 2006 04:00:00 +0100

E Paint Company is pleased to announce its partnership with solo around-the-world sailor Bruce Schwab. The goal of this partnership is to promote "green boating maintenance"" through hands-on education programs offered by Schwabâ€™s OceanPlanet Foundation.

E Paint produces safe, effective, non-toxic alternatives to traditional bottom paints. All E Paint products are free of copper and other biocides and are safe for the environment.

"The OceanPlanet Foundation and E Paint share the same passion for sustaining a healthy ocean ecosystem," said Alex Walsh, president and founder of E Paint. "OceanPlanet Foundation's commitment to using environmentally friendly products in its sailing programs aligns perfectly with our mission."

Green boating maintenance is cost effective and does not compromise performance. As the only American to finish the Vendee Globe around-the-world race -- solo, nonstop, and unassisted -- Schwab uses E Paint EP2000 on OceanPlanet for a fast, smooth, environmentally safe finish. EP2000 is E Paint's most environmentally friendly product; providing a hard, slick, racing finish with excellent antifouling properties.

In February 2005, after more than 3 months alone at sea, Schwab became the first American to complete the European-dominated Vendee Globe race. In doing so, he set the American round-the-world speed record at 109 days, 19 hours, 58 minutes, and 57 seconds. In December 2005, Schwab announced his goal to build OceanPlanet II for the 2008 Vendee Globe.

E Paint was established in 1991 to market environmentally friendly coatings, with a specialty in coatings that control biofouling. The research arm of E Paint, Cape Cod Research, began developing antifouling coatings with funding from the Navy in 1985. Since that time, the company has been awarded numerous contracts to research novel methods of biofouling control. E Paint has developed specialty antifouling coatings for the United States Coast Guard, United States Navy, and a number of oceanographic institutions. The company has several products registered with the EPA and others under development.
