SUPER-stain resistant paint that lasts up to 15 years sums it up for the recently launched enhanced range of paint that has hit the local market.

But there's more to APCO Coatings new range of exterior and indoor paints.

According to the company, its Villa Sunfast has been boosted with weather safe technology to last up to 15 years in the tough South Pacific environmental conditions.

The Fortuna Silk range — enhanced to be a super stain resistant paint — can be washed with mild soap to remove tea, coffee and red wine stains.

The mould-resistant Fortuna Pearl range, is a water-based coating for interiors and exteriors with gloss level and toughness similar to oil-based enamel, the company said.

APCO Coatings general manager Swapnil Talekar said the new range was eco-friendly and had a low odour.

The enhanced range of paint can withstand Fiji's tough environmental conditions, the company said. APCO Coatings says it was awarded ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certification for its excellence in quality and environmental systems.

"The company is confident that these products will suit the needs of the Fijian market in terms of quality and lifestyle appeal," Mr Talekar said.
