Does anybody know when the new alkyd hybrid paint is coming out from Benjamin Moore.
I heard throughthe grapevine that there is a new paint by Benjamin Moore that will dry harder than Advance and dry faster.
Possibly in the Corotech line.
I would be very anxious to try this paint on kitchen cabinets.

It is under corotech label, and will tint on gennex. Seems BM is moving other waterborne inslx and corotech products to gennex as well. No word on cabinet coat yet.



Urethane acrylic. Interior/exterior. Floors, DTM, Cabinets, Trim... designed for spray application very fast dry though though supposed to be able to roll small sections.


I've heard sometime in the late spring, but nothing official.

Cabinet coat with Gennex tints



Cabinet Coat can already be tinted on Gennex. It is the only way we do it. We had a problem with cratering on two jobs and we narrowed it down to a reaction with the raw umber tint. The BM technical specialist suggested we use the Gennex instead and it solved the problem. Ever since then, we always use the Gennex tint.

Can we assume that if this new paint is going to be similar to PPG breakthrough that Benjamin Moore will probably work out all of the problems. As with all Ben Moore paints all of the issues and drawbacks are usually figured out in the factory before they release the product to the general public. I would hope the same with this new paint that we are excited to try out.if what we hear is true, this paint will take the place of oil since oil enamel will no longer be available for sale and this paint will also be harder and it's finish then Advance

Honestly I'm not sure. Satin is all I use in cabinets so that's fine but I'm pretty sure it comes in semi too. I only used it on a couple jobs because I was having it shipped to SC from a store in New Hampshire. Those jobs were a standard off whites. It's such a nice paint but having it shipped was taking a risk that I wouldn't need another gallon and not be able to get it. Plus they would only tint Cali colors which was a pain in the arse but I understood their logic.

Polyurethane acrylic?

I wonder if this will make Cabinet Coat redundant in their product line?

or maybe they are going after the higher end 1K & 2K poly market. I'm paying well over $100/gallon for those coatings from Italy. Competing with Breakthrough would also be a good thing for us. BT is still a grade lower than Kem Aqua and Sayerlack in terms of durability. That said Breakthrough beats those two in ease of application.

Cabinetcoat I imagine will be more homeowner friendly. Again I have only seen a picture of a label... Breakthrough has to be over 30 years old at this point.

It's a Breakthrough killer with tenacious adhesion and better open time. Command is not designed to compete w Scuff X, Advance, or Cabinet Coat. All 3 products have a time & place. Advance & Cabinet Coat are similar because they're housed under two different brands within the Ben Moore family. Expect all Benjamin Moore coatings to tint with Gennex in the next year or so. Command is simply the one-coating-fits-all for facility maintenance (handrails, doors, floor stripes, etc). Could you use it on cabinets? Sure, but I'd stick with spraying it. Not so sure it will have that Distinctness of Image that Advance has.

Should we wait for Command or should we consider other waterbornes
Target coatings EM6500
KemAqua
Sayerlack
General finishes
Renner
Lenmar duralaq
Aqualiente
Milasei
Just to name a few.
We are really considering EM6500 with their cross linker.
Any opinions?

Only select dealers currently have it on hand in the test area. You could ask Hikes Point Paint in Louisville to ship it to you. They're the closest one to you that currently has it from what I hear. 2nd option would be The Painted Horse in Lexington. I believe those guys have shipping capability.
