Coil and extruded metal manufacturers concerned about challenges in the PVDF supply chain can achieve a comparable finish and performance using non-PVDF alternatives in most applications, advises a new whitepaper from AkzoNobel, the leading coatings and paints manufacturer.
Demand for coated metal in applications and segments like metal roofing and building and construction is rising exponentially, fueled by a global boom in commercial, residential and industrial construction and renovation activity.
In the face of on-going uncertainty in global PVDF supply chains, AkzoNobel, the leading coatings and paints manufacturer, has launched a campaign to help its partners navigate the changing PVDF landscape.
When the Florida Roofing & Sheet Metal Contractors Association designed its new headquarters, they knew it needed to be built with materials that were energy-efficient, code-compliant and long-lasting. To ensure a long-lasting exterior, they turned to coatings and component finishes made with Kynar 500 and Kynar Aquatec PVDF resin.
Design and building professionals carefully consider not only the correct hue, but also understand the importance of specifying colorful coatings with appropriate performance, longevity and sustainability.
The new Fluropon Continuum 70% PVDF coating system from Sherwin-Williams offers a mica-based, two-coat system formulated for both coil and extrusion applications that meets and even exceeds both the longevity and color performance of a traditional three-coat approach.
The Woodland Series of panel colors is now offered by ATAS. Four classic woodgrain patterns (Birch, Cedar, Driftwood, and Walnut), with a 70% PVDF coating, are available in .032 aluminum.
Petersen’s already vast spectrum of color options now increases to 62 standard choices with the addition of the 70% PVDF wood grain finishes, which are available on PAC-CLAD steel and aluminum wall panels.
