PVDF  (Polyvinylidene Difluoride)

DESCRIPTION
PVDF (also known as PVF2) is a very high performance, Premium Architectural Fluoropolymer Coating containing 70% KYNAR 500. It is a thermoplastic polymeric barrier coating designed to protect aluminium substrates which are exposed to extremely harsh climatic conditions. The combination of pigmentation and formulation provides long lasting beauty, durability and excellent film flexibility. An 8-stage chromate pre-treatment ensures optimum coating performance under all environmental conditions.

PVDF is extremely resistant to chalking, Ultra-violet deterioration and is supremely colour-fast. PVDF meets or exceeds AAMA 605:2 specifications covering high performance organic coatings on architectural aluminium extrusions and panels. PVDF is available in any colour, including Exotics, in a choice of matt, gloss and metallic finishes.

APPLICATIONS
PVDF is particularly suited to protecting aluminium extrusions, panels and components where exposure to high levels of UV, salt spray, high humidity, acid rain, industrial pollutants and high wind levels can be expected. Its high matrix, thin film characteristics and excellent wrap features make it an ideal choice for applying to thin sections where edges and corners require coverage.
