Established in 1997, Russin Factory Finishing (RFF) is a state-of-the-art machine applied coatings facility located less than a mile from Russin Lumber Corp. headquarters in Montgomery, NY. RFF is an authorized PPG machine coating applicator: we machine apply a wide variety of PPG coatings to many different substrates offering you more choices. From truckloads to custom job lots, no project is too small or large.
PPG … Leading The Way
Our coating partner is PPG, the undisputed leader in machine applied coatings and one of the world’s largest coating manufacturers. PPG pioneered the development of machine applied coatings nearly 70 years ago and is the most trusted name in the industry. PPG has expanded its leadership position through continuous technical innovation.
Coatings Applied to Exacting Quality Standards Under Ideal Conditions
First, the substrate is acclimated to the environment until reaching optimal levels of temperature and humidity. Next, high-speed rollers and brushes force coatings on to the surfaces and edges of the substrate, including into crevices. RFF applies a consistent amount of coating to every area of each piece to ensure even, complete coverage.
Proper Drying and Inspection Means You Use Every Piece
Boards are then placed on large drying racks where all ends and edges are visually inspected and touched up by hand to ensure quality control.The racks allow for proper air circulation and the coating completely dries at the proper temperature and humidity before final packaging.
A Better Quality, Longer - Lasting Finish
Why? Because machine coated products are protected first.When siding, trim, and decking are installed unfinished, the exposed face can be damaged from ultraviolet rays, wind and rain leading to potential adhesion problems later when field coatings are applied.Without primer on the ends, edges and back side of siding and trim, moisture is allowed to enter and will eventually affect the final coating and overall performance. Moisture is the worst enemy of siding and trim products! Machine applied coatings represent the best way to eliminate problems and enhance performance. The substrate is never exposed to damaging weather conditions.Coatings are applied to exacting quality standards with moisture content at an ideal level for finishing. Proper adhesion is achieved and appropriate drying time takes place.These ideal conditions are rarely duplicated when field finishing. Factory finishing results in a beautiful finish with no lap marks, shrink lines, sags, or streaking as well as extended coating life.
