With its high durability and large color palette, Valspar’s Fluropon® exterior coatings have become an industry standard for both metal coil coating and aluminum extrusion applications. These field-proven, high-performance, 70 percent polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) coatings are offered in two- to four-coat systems in nearly any formulation, including low gloss, low sheen, solar reflective and ENERGY STAR. A wide variety of colors also are available, from neutral to bright colors, micas, metallic, pearlescent and Kameleon® color shifting coatings. Fluropon coatings are ideally suited for long-life external use on monumental high-rise structures and pre-engineered buildings’ exterior architectural products made from aluminum, galvanized steel and Galvalume® coils and aluminum extrusions. End-uses include: metal roofing and wall panel systems; framing for curtainwall, windows, skylights and entrance systems; louvers and grills, soffits, fascia, mullions, column covers and more. “This superior coating is battle-tested, real world-proven and architecturally worthy of the limelight,” said Jeff Alexander, Valspar’s vice president of sales for global coil and extrusion. “In all of its applications, Fluropon is recognized for its exceptional long-lasting durability, outstanding color consistency, excellent overall adhesion, and superior flexibility and formability.” As examples of projects featuring Fluropon, Alexander mentions: 930 Poydras residential tower, New Orleans, Louisiana Sunnyvale Town Center Target Store, California Central Arizona College’s Maricopa Campus, Arizona Dallas Cowboys’ Stadium, Texas Exploration Tower at Port Canaveral, Florida Waubonsee Community College, Plano, Illinois Guthrie Theater, Minneapolis, Minnesota Paul David Athletic Training Center at Massillon High School, Ohio Aria Resort and Hotel Las Vegas, Nevada Skyventure entertainment facility, Nashua, New Hampshire Fluropon, containing a 70 percent PVDF proprietary resin system, meets or exceeds the American Society for Testing and Materials’ stringent standards, the American Architectural Manufacturers Association’s AAMA 2605 high-performance exterior specification.
