April 23, 2003—PPG Architectural Finishes, a subsidiary of PPG Industries Inc., has introduced Coraflon ADS (Air-Dried System) coatings, a new line of durable, colorful fluoropolymer coatings that are designed for field application to aluminum building panels, walls, roofs, doors, window frames, handrails, stairs, and other structurally sound surfaces.
The products permit architects and building owners to refurbish weathered building panels and accents with durable, field-applied coatings that are available in an unparalleled range of colors and glosses.
Building on the performance of Duranar coatings, a product with the proven ability to maintain its looks for twenty years, Coraflon ADS coatings feature a proprietary chemical cross-linking formulation that produces a clear, inert fluoropolymer film. This enables Coraflon ADS coatings to achieve an exceptionally rich and vivid palette of solid colors, metallics, and special effects that cannot be replicated with traditional air-dried fluoropolymers.
Along with an expressive array of colors, Coraflon ADS coatings deliver exceptional longevity, even under extreme environmental conditions. The coatings’ chemically inert composition yields a brilliant, low-maintenance finish that resists marring and abrasion. Coraflon ADS coatings also are extremely chalk-resistant and repel surface dirt and contaminants that can make buildings look old prematurely.
Coraflon ADS coatings also meet strict building codes and can be installed in virtually any environmental setting due to their low volatile organic compound formulations.
