Herman, James, Jimmy, Randall.  Four chemists.  One formula.  You step all over it and only a select few notice it.  It affects everyone on the field.  It tells you where to go, what you can do.  Your every move, step and decision is determined by it.  It is a game-changer, a match arbiter.

Before the mid 1980s, athletic fields and ice rinks were striped by marbled dust, chalk, flour and even coal dust.  Herman Irani caught wind of the need for better field maintenance products.  He put on his thinking cap and used his 30 years of chemistry research and development expertise to put his mark, literally, on the soccer field.  

His business was the quintessence of grassroots.  Herman began his company US Specialty Coatings, now one of the largest distributors of field paints for sports in the U.S., in his garage with a milkshake machine.  He blended together his formulas, used his scientific know-how to create his Dura Stripe field paints.  US Specialty Coatings now offers over 50 vivid colors.

In the foray of progressive athletic technology, Herman is amongst the front-runners in anticipating the different needs of the soccer community.  With offerings like synthetic turf and natural green turf, Herman quickly realized the manifold need for field maintenance product development.  We can go into technicalities and unfold messy terms like “lowest volatile organic compound concentration” and “highest amounts of solids and low levels of solvent.”  But the simple translation is this: their product is environmentally friendly!  And for natural green turfs, the paints won’t kill the grass.  

US Specialty Coatings offers various aerosol and bulk paints using the latex formula.  Herman’s promise is that their field paint creates the brightest, sharpest, most durable lines and sticks well.  NO clean up, no set up, simply shake the can and put the paint down.

Step on the paints, play your game!
