PPG announced the release of new data showing the superior color and gloss retention performance of PPG CORAFLON Platinum powder coating for architectural extrusions. Testing by independent third-party laboratory Atlas Material Testing Solutions, conducted according to Fenestration and Glazing Industrial Alliance and American Architectural Manufacturers Association (FGIA/AAMA) 2605 standards, revealed that PPG Coraflon Platinum exhibited a minimal 6% loss in color over five-years. The data demonstrated that PPG’s Coraflon Platinum exhibited 20 times the color retention of similarly colored competitor products within the same period.

During the first five years of the comparison, a leading competitor’s Slate Gray shade underwent a significant loss in color. Studying gloss retention over the same five-year period, both Slate Gray and Bone White competitor colors lost 80% or more of their gloss. In contrast, PPG Coraflon Platinum powder coating had minimal color and gloss change.
PPG Coraflon Platinum powder coating also maintains its exceptional stability and performance far beyond the 10-year benchmark, according to Atlas Material Testing Solutions. The coating has undergone years of third-party testing in accordance with industry performance standards*, including passing 4,000 hours of cyclic corrosion testing, correlating to 5-7 years of corrosion exposure in the field. PPG Coraflon Platinum also provides a number of additional performance benefits, including providing architects with an extended gloss range from five to 85, compared to the standard FEVE (fluoroethylene vinyl ether) powder coatings with a range of 25 to 70.
“Our customers demand high levels of performance and sustainability, and as partners we always strive to meet their needs,” said Marizeth Carvalho, PPG global powder lead, Industrial Coatings. “We know customers have long valued the color and durability of our PPG Coraflon Platinum coatings, and this new data emphasizes our ability to outperform competitors in the market.”
