Regional paint manufacturer and retailer, Harris Paints, hits a half century next month and is shaking up the paint industry by unveiling new revolutionary Next Gen products that are among the first of their kind worldwide earning an international patent.

Harris Paints’ next generation products are powered by the proprietary new Quantum Technology colour platform. “This is a boundary-breaking innovation”, said CEO Ian Kenyon who indicated that the new colour platform provides a myriad of benefits for all stakeholders involved in decoration, stocking or tinting paint colours and none so important as producing even better, more durable colours for customers.

“What matters is being able to provide paint colours that surpass customers’ expectations and will look as good as they imagined”, said the CEO. “Tests on our new products have shown that the new system has superior accuracy and precision, when compared to traditional methods of tinting and produces cleaner and clearer colours that last longer in our climate”.

The company has been working alongside a number of international agencies for several years, to harness and adapt emerging technologies to develop the superior, new colour system that is applied

from factory to in-store environments. The research and development team was led by Vice President of Technical Services and Innovation, Charles Kirton who has been the man behind Harris Paints formulations for almost 40 years. Kirton was the first to see the opportunity and has been hands-on with thousands of hours in the lab and is credited with an international patent for creating a key formulation or ‘the secret sauce’ central to the innovation supported by global standards in the paint industry.

Lifting the lid on the new platform, Kenyon explains: “Quantum Technology brings together many elements; engineering, chemistry, colour science, pigments and special formulations to produce better than ever colour results for our customers. The one-base products are made on new advanced tint dispenser machines specially designed for the purpose.

The new style dispensers have also earned multiple technological patents for advancements in engineering and colour production and can control a dot of colour ten times smaller than average traditional tint machines used in the industry today.”

The new colour technology will be introduced to Saint Lucia and Dominica next year with Harris’ top sellers and high-quality emulsions: Ulttima Plus Flat, Satin and Porch & Patio paints, tipped to be the first of the next generation products. These have been performance tested against international and regional competitors and have achieved best by test results. The company will gradually convert all product lines to the new system.
