Sto Corp. has announced an upgrade to its sample product program for 2010.

Recognizing a better way to present customers with accurate samples of the company’s coatings products, Sto changed the substrate material used for its 8-inch-by-8-inch samples, and 2-inch-by-8-inch retain stick samples to a 100-percent recycled plastic, bolstering its commitment to sustainability.

“All coatings and claddings manufacturers have some version of a sample program,” said Marty Parker, vice president of operations at Sto Corp. “We decided to upgrade our materials that we used to a recycled material that not only shows off the quality materials better than the old substrate but furthers our commitment to sustainability and our motto of ‘Building with Conscience.’”

The upgraded board provides additional benefits to our distribution network and our customers including:

Flexible substrate material highlights quality
Incorporates Sto Hot Prime (non-sanded) as a one coat primer application, allowing boards to be used for both smooth coating and finish applications
Easier application of materials
Lighter weight than previous samples
Better presentation for customers
