United
Gilsonite Laboratories manufactures over 80 paint specialty and home
maintenance products which are sold nationally and internationally at
hardware stores, home centers, paint stores and lumberyards.
UGL
has come a long way since 1932; meeting new and changing challenges
and demands have kept us profitable along the way. By maintaining our
emphasis on keeping with the latest technology and market trends we
have been able to grow our product lines and uphold our quality.
This
was apparent when in 2002, DRYLOK Masonry Waterproofer was rated again,
for the second time, as America's #1 Masonry Waterproofer by a leading
consumer ratings publication.
In 2001, the need for speed in home improvement products became very
important. With society changing and the increasing dual family incomes,
time had to become a factor in the drying of these products. UGL incorporated
quick drying packages in most of their ZAR products including the ZAR
Wood Stain and created an ULTRA line of wood finishing products.
Meeting
the demanding environmental regulations set forth by the U.S. government
has and will continue to be an on going challenge. With environmental
regulations and quality at the forefront of our product development,
UGL has developed many revolutionary products.
In
2005, UGL developed a low VOC ZAR Oil-Based Wood Stain and a Low VOC
Latex-Base formula of DRYLOK Masonry Waterproofer.
Using revolutionary new resin technology in 2006, UGL was able to formulate
a Waterborne Oil Modified Polyurethane, ULTRA Max, which blends the
quick drying properties of a latex base and the durability of an oil
base finish. Also formulated was DRYLOK E1, one part epoxy concrete
floor paint. This is another product developed with new technology that
only UGL would have.
