| First 70% PVDF architectural coating in the industry  The Valspar Corporation celebrates 50 years of Fluropon 70 percent PVDF resin-based coatings. Since the flagship architectural coating launched in 1965, Valspar's Fluropon exterior coatings have become the industry standard for both metal coil coating and aluminum extrusion applications. "It's been exciting to be involved with a product whose first response was 'What is this stuff?' to one that became the basis of fluoropolymer specifications as used by architects all over the world today," says Valspar's John Kelly. In 1965, Pennwalt's corporate headquarters in Philadelphia was the first project to feature Fluropon commercially. The building was brown, one of only five colors available at the time. Today, there are more than 50,000 active code offerings from neutral to bright colors, micas, metallics and pearlescent coatings.With its high durability and large color palette, these field-proven, high-performance, 70 percent PVDF resin-based coatings are offered in two- to four-coat systems in nearly any formulation, including low gloss, low sheen and solar reflective ENERGY STAR. Meeting the American Architectural Manufacturers Association's AAMA 2605 high-performance exterior specification, Fluropon demonstrates reliable performance including resistance to harmful ultraviolet rays, chemical degradation, abrasion and humidity. Along with its high-performance coatings, The Valspar Corporation supports architects and designers with its industry-leading technical expertise, color-matching and sustainability resources, responsive customer service and high-priority lead times. write your comments about the article :: © 2015 Construction News :: home page |
