Product of the Month: Resene Uracryl 400 Series

13 Jul 2026

The Uracryl 400 Series is a two-component, modified urethane acrylic system designed to impart exceptional durability, colour retention and chemical resistance to a variety of substrates across a range of industrial, commercial and heavy-duty environments.

The series is a unique offering in that it was designed from the bottom up to be applied by brush or roller, thus greatly expediting its application and helping avoid common issues usually encountered when applying such coatings to commercial buildings.

Another of the system’s pros is its ‘self recoatable’ formulation, which means it can be easily over painted in kind, making future maintenance efficient and cost-effective.

New Zealand’s biggest selling, architecturally specified specialist protective finish, the system features three levels of topcoat – semi-gloss (Uracryl 402), gloss (Uracryl 403) and low-sheen (Uracryl 404). The most popular of these being the 402 semi-gloss, reflecting the preferred shift to lower-sheen finishes.

Currently, the series is being largely specified for use on steel work in commercial situations where a highly durable, protective finish is required, and which can be easily customised to suit any colour scheme or choice.

The Uracryl 400 series is available in Resene’s full colour range and in small pack sizes with a 1-2 day turnaround in most cases, or sooner if ordered directly through one of Resene’s four regional locations – Wellington, Auckland, Christchurch and New Plymouth.
