DuPont and National Paints sign Teflon® trademark license agreement in the Middle-East

Middle-East, October 7, 2009

Saleem F. Sayegh, Managing Director, National Paints and Richard C. Olson, President, DuPont Titanium Technologies

Under the terms of the agreement, National Paints will co-brand five interior/exterior paints and a wood varnish with Teflon®, marking the third license of its kind to be signed in the Middle East. National Paints will launch the products in the UAE, Oman, Jordan, Yemen, Qatar, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Kyrgyzstan, and Kazakhstan.
Teflon® brand coatings were originally introduced for use in coating cookware, bakeware and small electrical appliances, industrial applications and other specialty coatings applications, but are now widely used to finish and protect apparel, textile, paint coatings, and other diverse surface applications.

“Teflon® is a critical ingredient that allows us to create paints that can withstand the Arab region’s challenging environmental conditions. By adding it to our product line, we enhance our ability to provide the best and safest coating solutions. We are recognized as one of the top paint producers in the world, so these kinds of technologies are essential for us to maintain our strong market position,” concluded Mr. Saleem F. Sayegh, Managing Director, National Paints.
