ORANGE COUNTY COMPANY LAUNCHES 2GUARD, A NEW PRODUCT THAT PROVIDES UP TO 10 YEARS PROTECTION FROM SUN, WATER, WEATHER

Called 2GUARD (www.2guard.com), it creates a tough polymer film protective coating that prevents the oxidation and/or corrosion of the surfaces of metals, plastics, fiberglass, woods, brick/block and other materials, according to Jeff Bower, chief marketing officer of BowBro Enterprises. 2GUARD also rejuvenates existing paint coatings that are fading due to corrosive attack by air and/or water that cause pitting and oxidation of the paint.

“We in Southern California live in a tough environment and consequently equipment and material are subjected to this region’s many harmful effects and need to be protected by a tough product,” Bower said. “We believe that 2GUARD is that product.”

Because it’s easy to apply, Bower said 2GUARD’s tough formula makes it an excellent household protectant that adds life and beauty to such items as the family car, outdoor furniture, patios, wrought iron fences, gates, outdoor window and door hardware, outdoor lamps, and recreation equipment. It’s also perfect for use on paint, siding, roofing materials, wood decks, pools and pool equipment, exterior furniture, tile, and more, protects the exterior of RVs and mobile homes.

“From a businesses point of view, 2GUARD protects valuable property such as tools, machinery, vehicles, buildings, shipping containers, airplanes, boats, signage and much more,” Bower said. “It protects and preserves a company’s investment in equipment and property. It keeps equipment looking good and can also reduce replacement and maintenance costs.”

Bower said 2GUARD can be applied on painted surfaces to protect them against any number of harsh elements, including UV attack, fresh and salt water and corrosive chemicals. “By applying 2GUARD, the life and usefulness of these materials can be kept in optimal appearance and condition for up to 10 years without having to paint again,” he said.

2GUARD is a one-part, one-coat, clear-coating protective coating that provides a barrier film protection on treated and untreated ferrous and non-ferrous metals, including galvanized and anodized, painted and other surfaces. 2GUARD creates a protective layer against weathering, caustic cleaners, diesel exhaust and carbon, bird droppings, algae, mold, and smog corrosion in a wide temperature range.

Bower said one of 2GUARD’s biggest advantages over comparable products is its ease of application and the fact that it can last up to 10 years without peeling, cracking, or yellowing … common problems with other protective coatings. One gallons can cover up to 1,200 square feet.

Other characteristics that Bower said gives 2GUARD a competitive edge include:

* It can be used on metal, painted wood, stone, and fiberglass
* It restores faded or oxidized surfaces to look like new
* It’s impact resistant
* It blocks ultraviolet radiation
* It prevents oxidation
* It resists dirt, dust, mold, mildew and algae
* It protects against bleach, corrosive salt and other damaging agents

Bower pointed out that applying 2GUARD is easily applied by using a traditional brush, roller, cloth, dip or spray procedures. Once applied, 2GUARD can replenish and protect faded paint.
