We formulate and manufacture quality products for New Zealand conditions, from our water based and resin production site in Onehunga and our solvent production site and head office in East Tamaki. We have two laboratories on each site, one for research and development and the other for quality assurance, run by our technical service staff and chemists. In total, we employ around 30 staff across the country.

We manufacture polyurethane resins, hardeners, prepolymers and moisture curing floor coatings. We produce PVA emulsions for use as paint resins and adhesives, PVA/acrylic polymer, styrene acrylic and 100% acrylic emulsions for use as paint resins. At our East Tamaki site we produce solvent based enamels, spray finishes, anti-corrosive, marine, industrial and heavy duty along with other specialised coatings. We are the only paint manufacturing company in New Zealand with our own resin production facilities.

A point of difference for us at Protective Paints is that we go above and beyond for our customers. Our highly experienced technical and sales team, work continuously with our customers to save them time and money. As part of our service we often spend time immersed in our customer’s business, observing their processes and machinery and talking to staff on the ground level in order to fully understand their business, enabling us to create specific products for them, unique to their environment.
