As well as our 25th appearance at the Painting and Decorating show this year also marked 25 years since the launch of MSP™

The introduction of MSP™ in 1999 was met with considerable scepticism. Many within the industry questioned the possibility of a ‘one can’, internal and external water-based product possessing the ability to self-prime, self-undercoat, and adhere to virtually any surface, and be available in Gloss, Satin, Matt and Metallic finishes!
The development of MSP™ was the culmination of many years of hard work. BEDEC was founded in the 1970’s by two experienced paint chemists, Brian Higgins and David Horn. Their goal was to create water-based products that not only matched their solvent equivalents but out performed them. BEDEC gradually accumulated a group of experienced paint chemists and production specialists all of whom had a passion for paint technology. With much work and access to cutting edge raw materials and techniques BEDEC eventually spawned MSP™.
With little in the way of marketing MSP™ was launched. Initially many in the industry refused to believe that a ‘one can for all jobs’ product was feasible. Gradually, with word of mouth recommendation, MSP™’s popularity grew.
The eventual success of MSP™ allowed BEDEC to invest in further research and development and we now have a range of specialist, high quality water-based products to be proud of.
Over the years we have seen a number of products launched by other companies claiming to have similar properties to MSP™ however none have been able to create a ‘one can’ product, that can be used internally and externally that rivals MSP™
When MSP™ was released it was far ahead of environmental and health regulations and without the need to make changes it still remains comfortably within modern day regulations.
Continued research and development means MSP™ remains the benchmark Multi-Surface paint for many in the painting and decorating world. We continue to make MSP™ at our production facility in rural Essex and pride ourselves on its quality and consistency.
MSP™ can be applied by Brush, Roller or spray. It is touch dry within 2 hours and re-coatable after 4 hours. It comes in various volume sizes ( 250ml, 750ml, 2.5L, 5L and 20L ). As well as being multi-surface it dries to form a flexible coating which is microporous and durable, offering 100% UV protection. It is non-yellowing and has a exceptional weather resistance.
