Newly Named Rainguard® Water Sealers™ 600 Set for Saturday, June 10, On 2017 Verizon IndyCar Series Schedule

Fort Worth, TX -- (ReleaseWire) -- 12/06/2016 -- Rainguard® Water Sealers™, a rapidly growing private water sealant and graffiti protection coating company, has signed a three-year agreement with Texas Motor Speedway to become the entitlement sponsor of the annual Verizon IndyCar Series race held in June at the world-renowned motorsports facility.

The multi-year deal for "America's Original Nighttime IndyCar Race," will begin with the 2017 event scheduled for Saturday, June 10, at the Fort Worth-based speedway. The race will be rebranded the Rainguard® Water Sealers™ 600 and serve as the ninth event on the Verizon IndyCar Series' current 17-race schedule for next season.

The agreement is the first entitlement sponsorship of any kind for the company that is based is Newport Beach, Calif. Specific financial terms of the agreement were not disclosed.

"We are extremely pleased to have Texas Motor Speedway and 'America's Original Nighttime IndyCar Race' serve as the initial sponsorship venture into motorsports and sports in general for Rainguard Water Sealers," Texas Motor Speedway President Eddie Gossage said. "We look forward to providing Rainguard with an exceptional first experience as an entitlement sponsor and help the company attain their goals through this sponsorship agreement."

Rainguard®, founded in 1969 as a manufacturer of architectural grade coatings used in the construction industry, is utilizing the sponsorship to enhance the consumer awareness and growth of the company that in 2010 developed a full line of specialty sealer products for the home improvement marketplace. The company specializes in premium sealers, interior and exterior sealers, water protection and exterior stains for a diverse assortment of surfaces that are sold through major distributors such as Home Depot and Walmart, among others.

The entitlement of the Verizon IndyCar Series race at Texas Motor Speedway was particularly appealing to Rainguard® due in large part to the top-five metropolitan market size of Dallas/Fort Worth and the growth of INDYCAR in recent years. The Verizon IndyCar Series race telecasts have increased 55 percent in viewership since 2013; social media conversation of the sport has increased 126 percent in that same timeframe; and more than 57 million Americans identify themselves as INDYCAR fans, according to the sanctioning body. Also, more than a dozen new sponsors came aboard to INDYCAR in 2016 alone.

"I've always believed that Indy racing is a great way to move a company's brand to the next level. That coupled with the incredible venue at Texas Motor Speedway, made the decision easy," Rainguard International President Claude Florent said. "We are committed to solidifying Rainguard as a respected national brand of home-improvement sealers, and creating effective and safe solutions for every homeowner throughout the nation. There is no better way than partnering with Indy and Texas Motor Speedway."

Newport Beach, CA -- (ReleaseWire) -- 11/16/2016 -- What makes companies such Google, Apple, Microsoft great? Is it an effective product? A commitment to help the environment? The ability to adapt to current market trends while simultaneously innovating for the future? The answer is that it's a combination of all these factors and more. It takes tremendous skill, leadership, and dedication to consistently deliver products that benefit everyone – customers, retailers, and the environment – while continually increasing profits.

"You have to consider those around you when you do business," said Claude Florent, CEO of Rainguard. "We have not sacrificed our principles to make a quick buck or gain short-term notoriety because we believe that compromise ultimately does not work for companies who want sustainable success for themselves, their partners, their customers, and the environment."

Like the tech giants, Rainguard truly is a company that does not merely go with the flow. Instead, they pave new paths and new models for other businesses to follow by offering viable solutions that are both long-lasting and highly effective.

"We're curating a whole new paradigm by going against the grain both in terms of maximizing efficiency in the supply chain to mitigate costs and increase profits as well as significantly lessening environmental impact," shared the ambitious CEO. "And not just in the home improvement sector, but for countless other industries as well."

As Amazon and other major online retailers face decreasing profits and increasing logistical costs, Rainguard's response is both financially pragmatic and deeply interwoven with an unshakable stance on protecting the environment. With the current state of logistical affairs and its downward spiral trend, everyone loses in the process – Amazon, the supplier, the distributor, the customer. Simply put, shipping is killing business. But with Rainguard, everyone wins. The obvious question then is: how do they do it?

"While online retailers – most notably Amazon – are getting crushed because of freight costs, we respond with real world solutions. We've aggressively assessed every single detail along the supply chain with incredible scrutiny and made every possible adjustment," explained Mr. Florent. "What much of our investigation and subsequent action has boiled down to is pushing our concentrate formula which ultimately means less material, less weight, less volume and therefore lower material and shipping cost leading to an increase in profit and a better deal for the customer. In less than a year, we've seen a 16.2 times growth in online sales activity."

With their product format, Rainguard ensures the home improvement consumer gets the highest value proposition while the supply chain can sustain the business and that the environment is better for it.

"The environment is our home. Let's take care of it," continued Mr. Florent. "By cutting back shipping, freights costs, and tightening up all other factors along the supply chain, we not only cut back on costs for consumers and increase profit margins for retailers, but also do a service to the environment by having less trucks, less materials, less gridlock and lower carbon footprint."

Rainguard's products are 100% eco-friendly from beginning to end. They do not contain carcinogens, hazardous by-products nor are they flammable. Simply put, they are obsessed with producing products that will never harm people, pets and plants – what they call their 3P Environmental Standard.

The future looks bright for Rainguard and they intend to keep it that way with constant innovation.

"We are about learning from the past, making things better in the present, and always planning strategically for the future," the Rainguard CEO added. "We're not just interested in selling a product, maintaining the status quo, or doing 'business as usual'. We're interested in re-defining the game in a way where everyone along the supply chain wins."

Rainguard® Introduces New Brick Surface Sealing Product with Micro-Lok™ Technology Specifically Formulated for Brick Surfaces.

Newport Beach, CA -- (ReleaseWire) -- 07/19/2016 -- Rainguard International® is proud to announce a new premium product launch, Brick Sealer.

Brick Sealer is 3P certified, 100% Eco-Friendly and safe for People, Pets and Plants: Lifeform Approved.

Although bricks are strong and durable, water can slowly deteriorate them. Brick is extremely porous, so it can absorb water like a sponge, leaving brick that cracks and crumbles over time. To help combat this damage to brick, Rainguard created a new and unique premium product – Brick Sealer – that is designed to seal and protect bricks. Specifically designed for brick surface sealing, Brick Sealer uses Micro-Lok technology, an exclusive ingredient found in all of Rainguard's water repellent systems. Additionally, it contains a proprietary blend of Silane Siloxanes which helps create a deep penetrating, non-film forming, chemically reactive water repellent. The product contains no silicone oil, paraffin wax, or urethanes. Brick Sealer can be applied to brick walls, chimneys, and interior brick surfaces leaving in its wake a tough, durable, natural looking finish. Brick Sealer protects mortar from moisture damage and prevents damage from wind driven rain.

Benefits and features include:

- Penetrates deep – perfect for use on sidewalks, driveways and garages
- Prevents growth of mold and mildew
- Stain resistant to oil, gas and anti-freeze
- Great winterizing agent – protects concrete from icing and salt infiltration
- Easy to use – same day, one coat application
- Apply in cold weather down to 40°F or 4.45 °C
- Easy clean up – simple rinse with soap and water
- Low VOC and low odor – will not harm people, pets, or plants
- Protects your investment with a TEN YEAR satisfaction guarantee
