material credits
FX Special Effects
Colorants
Granite, marbling, woodgrain and other distinctive
colorant technologies to provide special surface
effects
• Decorative molding • Chair or hand rails
• Wallcovering • Blinds & shutters
• Any surface or part demanding a distinctive look
Pool Colorants Durable, long-lasting pigment formulations for
finishes that hold up to pool water chemistries
• Pool decks • Coping
