Highland “Spray-Safe” HiTemp
Dry-Fall Coatings
If you are concerned about paint overspray damaging nearby businesses or
traffic, you need Highland Dry-Fall. Without sacrifice to durability or aesthetics,
you can safely use spray application and
eliminate paint overspray damage. Overspray is powder-dry within 10-20 feet from
point of application and wipes off cleanly
without chemicals or buffing.
Did you know
that even if
you opt to paint your facility by
the labor intensive brush and roll
method, you may still have
“Overspray” damages. When
painting lofty structures, paint
droplets may travel several
miles when airborne and cause
as much or more damage than
overspray from spray application!
HOW TO
SAVE $5,000
Eliminate the risk with
Highland “Spray-Safe”
Dry-Fall Coatings
It is up to 4 times faster to apply than
brush and roll saving time and reducing
plant down time. These solvent-borne
coatings will last 3-4 times longer than
conventional alkyd and water-borne dryfall coatings.

Highland “Spray-Safe”
information you can determine the cost of the paint per square foot.
• Use 1604 square feet as your Theoretical Coverage rate
and multiply by the percent of Volume Solids
Dry-Fall Coatings
• Reduce that number by 10% to cover the loss per sprayable gallon
• Divide that number by the number of recommended DFT
• Divide that number into the price per gallon to get the cost per square foot
