Kynar 500® PVDF-based coatings: The Architectural Coating Standard
For aluminum, galvanized steel, or aluminized steel substrates, the final finish consists of a factory-applied, oven-baked coating based on Kynar 500® PVDF resin. Formulated by licensed partners and applied by approved applicators, these premium coatings provide exceptional color retention, weather resistance, and long-term performance. Proven for over 25 years in the most demanding UV environments, Kynar 500® PVDF-based finishes meet the highest industry standards, including AAMA 2605, ensuring lasting beauty and reliability.
High-Performance Metal Roofing for Energy Efficiency and Urban Comfort
Metal roofing systems coated with Kynar 500® PVDF can achieve over 70% solar reflectance, helping keep roof surfaces cooler and reducing heat transfer into buildings. This improves energy efficiency and contributes to mitigating the urban heat island effect, where built-up areas trap and re-radiate heat, leading to higher temperatures than surrounding regions.

Preserving Color, Protecting Surfaces with Kynar 500® PVDF-based coatings
The performance of a coating lies in its ability to resist weathering, as all materials eventually degrade under the effects of sunlight, air, and water. For polymer coatings applied to metal, this degradation appears as a loss of color, gloss and adhesion, along with the formation of chalking. Most coatings deteriorate under the combined effects of sun, rain, and pollutants, whereas Kynar 500® PVDF-based coatings provide superior resistance to this chemical breakdown over time.
