Fun Facts about Kem-Tone© Wall Finish from Sherwin-Williams!
It’s easy to underestimate modern house paint and think that it has always been there, but that’s not the case.
When it comes to durable, fast drying water-based paint that binds and withstands frequent washing, such a paint didn’t exist until 1941 thanks to a team of chemists at Sherwin-Williams!
On September 23, 1941, Sherwin-Williams registered a trademark for their revolutionary product Kem-Tone© — and over 10 million gallons were sold the following three years because of its groundbreaking qualities to bind, dry fast, and its washability!
To this day Kem-Tone© is one of the best-selling paints ever in the United States!
Kem-Tone© was a landmark stepping stone in the creation of other waterborne paints that make up nearly 80 percent of all building paints on the market today!
