Sherwin Introduces Exterior Acrylic Latex Coating with Weather-Adaptive Performance

Sherwin-Williams’ newest exterior coating, Latitude Exterior Acrylic Latex, is also its latest to include ClimateFlex technology, which extends the temperature range at which the coating can be used.

“There are many factors to take into consideration to keep exterior painting projects on schedule—but weather doesn’t have to be one of them,” says Rick Watson, director of product information and technical services at Sherwin-Williams. “The technology in Latitude gives professionals and homeowners more flexibility to keep outdoor projects on track while still delivering long-lasting results and optimal application.”

The coating can be applied at air, surface, and material temperatures ranging from 35 to 120 degrees Fahrenheit. Once applied, it offers moisture resistance within 30 minutes, even at 35 degrees Fahrenheit. The resulting durable finish protects against peeling, cracking, and dirt pickup, and offers hide, coverage, and block resistance, according to the manufacturer.

The Latitude Exterior Acrylic Latex coating is available in flat, satin, or gloss sheens. Available tints include Sherwin-Williams’ VinylSafe paint colors, a limited selection of darker colors designed to resist warping or buckling when applied to a vinyl substrate. sherwin-williams.com
