Aloha Boris,

i would like to extend my thanks to you for supporting the Wyland Foundation during the creation of Wall #86, “Manatee Sanctuary”, at the Homosassa Springs State Wildlife Park in Homosassa, Florida. Having now painted 86 of my intended 100 monumental life-size marine-life murals, i am extremely pleased with the performance of Cortec’sVpCI®-386 clear coat product.

i am most proud of the fact that these life size murals will inspire thousands of people to respect, protect and preserve our oceans, lakes, rivers, streams, ponds, wet-lands and all the marine life that dwells within. it is sure to be a Florida landmark for years to come.

On behalf of the Wyland Foundation, we thank you and invite you to join us in the future as we continue our mission of bridging the worlds of art and sciences. Together we can inspire generations around the globe to explore and care about our oceans and its magnificent sea life. One person can make a difference!

Mahalo,

We are proud to introduce a major step forward in aerosol technology, EcoAir® Air-Pow-ered Aerosol products. For the first time in industry, we are providing aerosol products that are powered by compressed air and not by traditional chemical propellants. This technology is innovative because a four-layer EcoPouch is inserted into the can. Once pressurized, the EcoPouch is filled. As the valve is depressed the surrounding pressure expels the bag’s inter-nal fluids. The major advantages of EcoAir® technology are:

•Nonflammable.

•Spraying in any direction, even upside down.

•No product contamination by propellant.

•Safer to ship and store, with very low or no environmental impact.

•Recyclable as any aluminum can.

•Unique water-based products.
