Coatings
PVDF (fluoropolymer)
A premium fluoropolymer, typically a 70:30 blend of PVDF resin and acrylic. The carbon-fluorine bond resists UV breakdown better than any other coil coating chemistry.
Best for
Facades, cladding, architectural roofing, coastal and high-UV exposure
Performance notes
Exceptional color and gloss retention, minimal chalking over decades. Industry-typical exterior life: 20 to 30 years.
