Flexibility
Chances are our predefined colors will be perfectly suitable for many, even
most, of your needs. Yet, you always have the flexibility to experiment on
your own. Or, you may be interested staining wood other than oak or maple
and need to try some different formulas. In any case, the Triclad Stain Matching
System allows you to do so in small batches within a controlled, replicable
process.
Reduced labor
expense
The system has already done most of the work for you, so your staff can
spend minutes instead of hours trying to create or match a particular stain
color. You won’t believe the man-hours you’ll save.
Minimized waste
First, by utilizing our tested formulas for the 282 predefined colors,
you waste zero materials. Second, in developing new colors, you can work
in measurements as small as just a teaspoon. All Triclad color formulas are
based on “parts,” not quarts or gallons, so your test batches
can be as small as you want, and your final product batches can be as large
as you want.
Happy customers
Customers want it right, and they want it now. The Triclad Stain Matching
System not only lets you deliver high-quality, accurate samples—the
first time—it also lets you do it fast.
High quality
Triclad bases are designed specifically to intermix with each other as
a system. The integrity of the balance of solvent, resin, and pigment is
assured throughout the manufacturing process, so you can rely on quality
and consistency in both application and adhesion.
Clean
The System’s easy-pour, self-sealing
lids let you work efficiently while minimizing drips and spills.
Cost savings example
Look at how
much you can save on color development.
| Traditional Process | Triclad System | |||
| Hours @ $50/hour: | 3 | $150.00 | .5 | $25 |
| Material @ $18/gal: | 1 | $18.00 | .125 | $2.25 |
| Total | $168.00 | $27.25 | ||
Now, multiply this by the number of color development projects you do each year.
Example based on actual customer data.
“There’s no question that the Triclad Stain Matching System has already saved me thousands of dollars in labor and material cost. But the real benefit is that my sales reps can now show customers their custom stain colors almost immediately. None of us can even imagine going back to the old trial-and-error way of matching stains. This system is awesome.”
