I am specifying your Precision Coatings metallics in a hotel that can't be shut down. Does Precision make a low odor metallic?
Precision PC6 finish coat and DTM1600 primer are LEED compliant, waterborne, pre-reacted polyurethane coatings that provide a high grade finsih, excellent durability and can be applied in occupied structures. A well known, very high end Las Vegas resort hotel is currently using PC6 on the remodel of a major restaurant due to the low odor, outstanding appearance and srub resistance of this outstanding single component polyurethane.
Do you have dry erase coatings that can be used on walls in health care facilities that are occupied?

Can PSX 700 be used as a dry erase coating for walls?
PSX 700 does have excellent dry erase ink release properties, however, PSX 700 has an extremely high cohesive strength due to its design for use on industrial projects. The high cohesive strength can tear apart weak substrates such as acrylic latex paints and even dry wall. If the surface you are coating is steel or non-ferrous metal PSX 700 will perform well as a dry erase coating, but such substrates are not commonly found in the commercial architectural or institutional markets.
Precision's EeZeClean Dry Erase Coating uses a much more flexible resin system that is designed for topcoating acrylic latex coated walls and dry wall. Precision's EeZeClean has excellent dry erase ink release properties, is LEED compliant and low odor.
