A New Water-Based PVDF System for Weatherable Coatings

PVDF (polyvinylidene fluoride)-based coatings are recognized by architects as a premium weatherable coating technology. They provide years of color and gloss retention along with corrosion protection. However, PVDF based coatings have been limited to factory-applied finishes on metal since the coatings require high-temperature processing.

PVDF (polyvinylidene fluoride)-based coatings are recognized by architects as a premium weatherable coating technology. They provide years of color and gloss retention along with corrosion protection. However, PVDF based coatings have been limited to factory-applied finishes on metal since the coatings require high-temperature processing. A water-based latex technology has been developed for formulating into low-VOC, air-dry coatings with weathering properties that are comparable to the traditional PVDF based coatings. A full range of new weatherable coatings based on this technology are entering the marketplace such as infield metal refurbish coatings, cool roof white coatings for metal or non-metal surfaces, concrete coatings, stains and varnishes, etc.
