KYNAR 500®

Metal has rapidly become the material of choice for exterior use due to its rugged durability, design versatility and aesthetic possibilities. However, for all its bravado and beauty, metal doesn't necessarily have a tough skin and is only available in a single color. To be functional and decorative, metal must be coated with a finish that beautifies with color and doesn’t chalk; that won’t lose its color and sheen; that won’t pit, chip, or age before its time.

Architects around the world specify Kynar 500® PVDF resin-based coatings to protect aluminum, galvanized steel and aluminized steel. No other coating system withstands the rigors of nature and time like those based on Kynar 500® resins. This high-performance fluoropolymer resin, with its extraordinary capability to retain color and gloss, keeps painted metal looking vibrant and appealing.

KYNAR ROOFING

The choice of roofing material has the greatest impact on the energy conservation of a home. Cool metal roofs coated with Kynar 500® PVDF based resin can reduce energy consumption by up to 40% as part of a total system design (as reported by the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory). Kynar 500® coated metal roofing has many attractive features and benefits. The architectural appeal, variety of profiles, texture and color, flexibility and long lasting Kynar 500® based painted metal roofing can achieve solar reflectance of over 70%. Reflected solar energy allows the roof surface to remain cooler, which means less heat is transferred into the building. Cool metal roofing coated with Kynar 500® based resin is one way to limit the urban heat island effect and long term durability makes it popular for residential projects.

OUTLASTS THE COMPETITION

These panels, exposed at an independent test-fence facility in Southern Florida, clearly demonstrate the superior weather ability of Kynar 500® PVDF resin-based coatings over other finishes. Note the lack of fading with the panels coated with Kynar 500® resin-based finishes.
