Chennai, August 21st: Nippon Paint, the leading paint brand in the Asia-Pacific region, has introduced an upgraded version of its flagship exterior emulsion, Weatherbond Advance, now featuring Quartz Technology and backed by a 12-year warranty.
The introduction of a 12-year warranty further reinforces Nippon Paint’s confidence in Weatherbond Advance’s long-term performance. By extending repainting cycles and offering enhanced durability, the product provides significant cost savings to consumers.
Weatherbond has been a prominent product in Nippon Paint’s portfolio for over 75 years. First launched in India with Lamination Technology in 2010, the brand solidified its position in 2017 by incorporating Heat Ban Technology, which helped reduce surface temperatures and improve energy efficiency. Now, with the introduction of Quartz Technology, Weatherbond Advance offers even greater durability. The new formula strengthens the paint film with microcrystalline quartz minerals, significantly improving its resistance to extreme weather, fading, and cracking.
The upgraded product is designed to protect homes from India’s diverse climatic conditions. In coastal regions, it resists salt corrosion and humidity; in hilly areas, it withstands temperature fluctuations and high UV exposure; and in the plains, it provides protection against dust, pollution, and heavy rainfall. Additionally, Weatherbond Advance boasts Sun Block Technology, which reflects 90% of solar light, reducing surface temperatures by up to 7 degrees Celsius, leading to cooler interiors and potential energy savings.
According to Mr. Mahesh Anand, President of Nippon Paint India, the new version of Weatherbond Advance “combines cutting-edge technology with a commitment to sustainability,” ensuring that homeowners receive top-tier protection while reducing their environmental impact.
Produced in Nippon Paint’s GreenCo Gold certified facility, the product is also certified by the GreenPro eco-label from the Indian Green Building Council (IGBC), underscoring its environmental credentials. With ultra-low VOC emissions, it offers an eco-friendly option for homeowners concerned about sustainability.
The latest enhancement positions Nippon Paint as a leader in the exterior emulsion market, catering to a growing demand for durable, energy-efficient, and eco-friendly solutions.
