Architect's First Choice with KYNAR 500 PVDF

            Today, KYNAR 500 ® PVDF resin-based metal coatings provide billions of square feet of protection against weathering, aging and pollution on commercial, industrial, institutional and residential buildings around the globe. The capability of Kynar 500 resins to deliver long-term durability is unparalleled in the industry. Introduced in 1965, Kynar 500 resin-based coatings were the original high performance finishes for architectural metal. Available only from Arkema, they are still the architect's first choice.

RESIN-BASED COATINGS OUTPERFORM FEVE.

Tests show that Kynar 500 resin-based finishes outperform coatings based on the fluoropolymer resin commonly known as fluorinated ethylene vinyl ether [FEVE]. The reason: coatings formulated with FEVE claim to be 100% fluoropolymer resin, but actually contain far less fluorine than Kynar 500 resin-based coating formulations.

In typical formulations (see shaded areas), Kynar 500 resin-based coatings contain higher fluorine levels than FEVE - based coating, resulting in greater resiliency, color and gloss retention.
