TECHINICAL ASSISTANCE

With over 40 years of combined experience in the coatings industry ICC is more than capable of taking care any technical requirement, be it new construction, refurbishing of an existing asset or specialized coatings for manufactured goods or high tech protective coatings in the mining industry - the ICC Team prides itself on it’s customer care and will be there every step of the way from paint specification, to surface preparation, application advise and colour selection.

COLOUR

We use the NCS (Natural Colour System), “the international language of colour” for specification, communication and control of colour in design and is based on the way we see colour and logically describes it. For example SABS has recently adopted this to describe accurately the coatings industry’s (previously contentious) standard colours. Using this system it is possible to describe any imaginable colour based on how it resembles the six elementary colours (white, black, yellow, red, blue and green). All colours are tinted via a state of the art computer system to ensure that your colours are right every time. ICC also utilizes a colour spectrophotometer to ensure that if we need to match a colour it is correct right from the start.

GUARANTEES

Being that ICC is an official distributor for these partners, we are able to offer and support the manufacturer’s guarantee, giving you piece of mind on your project. With our technical assistance at the specification stage ICC is able to offer guarantees on the various products backed by the manufacturer – terms and conditions would apply.

PARTNERSHIPS

Whether you are an architect, retailer, specifier, decorator, mining operation or manufacturer, ICC understands the challenges of the coatings business and is committed to building partnerships with it’s customers. To this end we are committed to training of our staff and those of our customers. With the support of our suppliers we conduct regular training sessions at our offices in Harare to make sure that you are kept up to speed with the latest paint and application technologies, which in turn ensure the end customer gets the best results possible. All of our sales staff have undergone training so you can feel confident that you will be getting the best advice when asking for information or ordering products.
