Fluoro Guard™ - Intermediate-Strength (PDF Data Sheet) PVDF containing powder coatings incorporate the same ingredients as the full-stregth version, but a lesser amount of the expensive PVDF resin. These coatings are formulated to meet or exceed the performance requirements of the AAMA 2604-02 Specification. The architectural specifier may find these coatings well suited for high-traffic architectural aluminum components such as doors, railings, and storefronts.They are available in similar gloss ranges as their parent versions and otherwise have the same physical properties. Resistance to acidic atmospheres and extended UV protection and significantly better than with polyester coatings commonly used for similar service.

Architectural Grade Standard Polyesters (PDF Data Sheet) are cured with TGIC, but will not provide the length of service that Super-Durable resins permit. On the other hand, these coatings are much more resistant to the degrading effects of ultraviolet light and corrosive attacks than other exterior-quality resinous coatings, to include polyurethanes and acrylics. These formulas are available in gloss ranges of 2-95% and include highly durable (UV-resistant) ceramic-grade pigments that provide superior color stability in long-term service. To add to the performance of these coatings, antioxidants and corrosion inhibitors are incorporated.

Epoxy/Hybrid Primers (PDF Data Sheet) are also available for use when substrate quality is less than desired or enhanced resistance to acidic or sunlit environments is needed. Primers are available in a medium-shade, neutral gray color at high gloss.

Approved Applicators Fluoro Guard™-Full Strength and Intermediate Strength fluorinated coatings are available only to approved applicators.
