“We are excited to add waterborne products to our growing Tufcote
portfolio,” says John Corry, Axalta Product Director, Industrial North
America. “Their formulation offers building industries, such as
healthcare offices, hospitals, and schools, a cost-effective coating
that is USDA approved for use in areas with incidental food contact that
