FrogTape® Brand Painter’s Tape Presented Sherwin-Williams Innovation Award
Avon, OH (March 29, 2010) – FrogTape® brand painter’s tape has been awarded the 2010 Innovation Award by Sherwin-Williams, the nation’s largest paint distributor.
FrogTape was selected based on several criteria, including the innovative and patented PaintBlock® Technology. FrogTape is the only painter’s tape treated with PaintBlock Technology, a super-absorbent polymer, which reacts with latex paint and instantly gels to form a micro-barrier that seals the edges of the tape, preventing paint bleed. The end result for the Sherwin-Williams customer is sharp, clean paint lines. While DIY customers get the satisfaction of achieving professional results, contractors also benefit by spending less time prepping and touching up, leaving more time to take on more jobs.
Sherwin-Williams strives to provide its customers with the most innovative products for better results and increased efficiency. This year’s Innovation Award acknowledges that commitment by identifying a product that uses a patented technology to deliver sharper paint lines and reduce time for paint projects. FrogTape also met the criteria for this award because of its high and consistent product quality levels, sales and service performance and overall marketing support.
FrogTape brand painter’s tape with PaintBlock Technology is available in a variety of widths to accommodate any application. The tape comes in a reusable plastic canister designed to protect the tape edges from damage for better consistent results. FrogTape brand painter’s tape can be purchased at Sherwin-Williams store locations across the United States with a suggested retail price of $6 to $12 depending on the size of the tape.
