Notes:

In May of 2022, Behr Paint Company launched BEHR® COPPER FORCE™ interior paint, which transforms and expands the role of paint by affording homeowners, residents and building occupants an extra layer of protection against bacteria and viruses, including SARS-CoV-2. This new product, powered by Corning® Guardiant® antimicrobial technology, kills 99.9% of viruses and bacteria within two hours of exposure on the painted surface for a period of six years.

In June 2022, the company introduced BEHR PREMIUM™ spray paint, available nationwide in 51 colors, including new textured and metallic finishes. The aerosol spray paints feature an enhanced formulation that combines paint and primer properties in a single can, delivering a premium, durable finish to help revitalize furniture and décor items inside and outside of the home.
