Identigraph, Inc.

Identigraph leads the competition again, by eliminating all solvent based coating applications and GOES GREEN with WATER BASED FINISHING.

Now taking the next step in waterborne technologies allows Identigraph to continue to lead the industry in its above average quality expectations.

Identigraph Leaps Into Water Based Coatings

Today, with the global commitment to the environment at an all time high, Identigraph has partnered with Sikkens to offer the very best eco-friendly, waterborne finishes on the market.  With over 200 years experience, Sikkens has always been the leader in advanced products and providing support and know how to its customers.  As the technology leader in the sign manufacturing industry, Identigraph takes its environmental roll very serious and has implemented a total commitment to waterborne technology with success above and beyond expectations.

The California Air Resources Board has developed control measures to limit the amount of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC's) that manufacturers can emit.  This has been a continual nightmare for years and Identigraph has stepped beyond regulation and taken a giant leap forward in the industry.

Waterborne applications have no VOC's and because it is an automotive application it far exceeds the industry warranties by providing a lifetime warranty.  Identigraph (being its own worst critique) never wanted to see years later our products looking worn and faded.  Traditional finishes specified for the sign industry lack the performance we wanted to bring to our products.  Products like Matthews (heavily used in the industry) cannot withstand our quality expectations. 

Most would believe the cost would prohibit waterborne application, but the opposite is true.  Waterborne from Sikkens needs no prep applications, no pimers (the primer is in the paint) and because there is no thinning to meet VOC requirements, application takes less material and coatings, greatly reducing the cost.  No expensive cleanup or disposal is required and most important no solvents to harm human life or the environment.

Color match is a snap with Sikkens computerized coloring system.  Any and all specified colors are able to be converted by this matching system from RGB, CMYK, Pantone and other manufactured systems can be easily converted with total confidence in color matching.
