Van Technologies introduces a new competitively priced waterborne primer and topcoat for industrial wood manufacturers—engineered to address the performance compromises commonly found at this price point.
What if better coating performance didn’t have to come with a premium price?
That question was at the heart of the development of Vantage™ Primer and Topcoat System, the newest waterborne finishing technology from Van Technologies.
We looked at the performance issues manufacturers commonly experience with competitively priced primer and paint systems and set out to improve the areas that can have a real impact on both production efficiency and finished-product quality.
The result is Vantage.
We fixed the compromises. Not the price.
The Vantage Advantage
Vantage was developed to remain competitive with comparable systems at the same price point while providing improved performance where manufacturers need it.
In comparative testing, Vantage demonstrated better wet and dry adhesion, earlier block resistance and resistance to yellowing than the competitive system evaluated.
For manufacturers, those improvements aren’t simply numbers on a laboratory report. They can translate into meaningful advantages on the production floor and in the products being shipped to customers.
Earlier Block Resistance. Greater Production Efficiency.
How quickly a coated component can be safely handled, stacked and packed can affect production flow.
Vantage develops block resistance earlier, providing the opportunity for earlier handling and packing and helping manufacturers keep finished products moving through their operation more efficiently.
Less waiting. Better flow. More opportunity to keep production moving.
Strong Wet and Dry Adhesion
A beautiful finish only matters if it stays where it belongs.
Vantage demonstrated better wet and dry adhesion in comparative testing, helping manufacturers deliver the durability, appearance and quality expected from their finished products.
A White Finish Should Stay White.
Yellowing can turn an otherwise successful white finish into a long-term quality concern.
Vantage demonstrated excellent resistance to yellowing and better color stability in comparative heat-aging testing, helping white finished products maintain a cleaner, consistently white appearance over time.
Consistently white finish. Greater efficiency. Real value.
And while Vantage was developed around a high-performance white finish, white isn’t the only option. Van Technologies can formulate Vantage to match the custom color required for a customer’s finished product.
Your Coating Should Fit Your Line. Not the Other Way Around.
The Vantage Advantage doesn’t stop with the coating itself.
Every manufacturing operation is different. Substrates, application equipment, line speeds and finishing requirements vary—and we don’t believe manufacturers should have to force a coating that doesn’t quite fit into an otherwise successful process.
Our technical team can work directly with customers to make Vantage fit their operation, including targeting application viscosity, gloss and custom color at no additional cost.
And once a coating has been approved, predictability matters.
Van Technologies is ISO 9001 certified, with quality systems supporting consistency from batch to batch and order to order.
Predictable in application. Predictable in performance. Predictable from order to order.
You know how the coating will run. You know the finish it will produce. And your production team can run it with confidence.
Flexible for Industrial Wood Finishing
Vantage Primer can be used independently for pre-prime applications or together with Vantage Topcoat when a complete finished coating system is desired.
Vantage is designed for industrial interior wood finishing applications including architectural molding and millwork, interior trim, interior doors, cabinetry and components, pre-primed wood products, furniture components and other factory-finished interior wood products.
More Than a Coating. A Team Behind It.
When you choose Vantage, you’re also gaining access to the Van Technologies team that develops, manufactures, tests and supports your coating.
We work to understand your substrate, equipment, production requirements and quality expectations. From initial evaluation and line trials through qualification and production, our goal is to help Vantage perform where it matters most:
On your line.
Better wet and dry adhesion. Earlier block resistance. Excellent resistance to yellowing. Custom color, gloss and viscosity. ISO 9001 certified quality systems supporting predictable performance. Direct access to the technical team behind the coating.
All while remaining competitive with the price point manufacturers are already accustomed to paying.
That’s Performance Without the Premium.
That’s the Vantage Advantage.
Ready to Find Your Vantage?
The most important test isn’t how Vantage performs in our lab. It’s how it performs on your substrate, with your equipment and on your production line.
