What is PVDF?

Polyvinylidene Fluoride (PVDF) contains one of the strongest bonds known to man. So it's no surprise that PVDF resin-based coating systems offer the longest-lasting performance available.

Fluropon coatings are 70% PVDF liquid metal coating systems for metal building products that meet or exceed AAMA 2065 standards. PVDF metal coatings are baked-on finishes that are either coil coated and post-formed into building products or spray-applied to aluminum extrusions in-factory.

Fluropon 70% PVDF coating systems are most appropriate for monumental and high-end residential and commercial architecture as they provide superior color and gloss retention.
