Somay Products, Inc. is pleased to provide a Concentrate system which enables the overseas customer to save money, especially import duties, when importing raw materials from SOMAY instead of finished paint, providing jobs by manufacturing paint locally, and allowing the manufacture of consistent, superior quality paint locally. This is possible since all the technical chemical formulation work is provided by SOMAY. The SOMAY Concentrate System has been proven successfully in both vinyl acrylic and 100% acrylic formulations, including house and wall paints, traffic striping paints and waterproofing coatings.

Benefits to the Concentrate System Purchaser

1. Assurance of High Quality Paint
• In the severe climate of southern Florida and the Caribbean, subject to unusually high exposure to sunlight, high humidity, salt air, strong winds and blown sand, wide variations in temperature, etc. SOMAY paints have been used successfully in both commercial and domestic applications for many years. Therefore, you are assured of fully-tested, high quality products, that have stood the test of time and have satisfied discriminating customers for more than half a century.
2. No Costly Technical Staff Required
• All the highly technical chemical formulation work has been done. No highly trained and costly technical staff is needed.
• Simple, easy to follow instructions make the final blending step essentially foolproof. No sophisticated Quality Control Laboratory is required, and you can still be confident of consistently high quality paint.
3. Eliminate Import Duty on Finished Goods
• Pay much lower Import Duty at Raw Materials rate. This should provide very important cost savings to the user of the SOMAY Concentrate System in many foreign countries.
4. Save on Freight Cost
• Eliminate freight cost on the weight of the water, e.g. 20 gallons of water @ 8.33 lbs. per gallon = 167 lbs. weight savings out of total finished weight of 1,452 lbs. for 121 gallons of end product, a weight savings of 11.5%!
5. Provide Local Employment
• Local employment can be used for blending the raw materials in the SOMAY Concentrate System into paint, and then packaging into 5-gallon cans for contractor use or 1-gallon cans for retail sales. This should be an important consideration in developing countries, where new employment opportunities are appreciated.
6. Minimum Capital Investment
• Only a minimum capital investment in equipment is required to get into business. Only one blending tank and one small mixer are needed, plus a 5-gallon container lid closing tool to seal the lids on the 5-gallon cans of paint
7. Color Variety
• A wide variety of pastel colors can be made from the white paint manufactured by the SOMAY Concentrate System, using the Colortrend system of colorants, an extra cost system that SOMAY can also supply.
8. One Source of Supply
• No purchasing staff is needed. SOMAY will supply all the ingredients needed, and SOMAY can also supply cans, labels, cartons, color tinting pigments, tinting machines and shakers, or whatever additional supplies may be desired.
