PPG Industries’ coil and building products coatings group has launched DURANAR ADS (air-dried system) fluoropolymer coating, a newly-formulated product that surpasses the performance of the original Duranar ADS coating.
The next-generation Duranar ADS coating, designed for touching up fluoropolymer finishes on architectural metals damaged during production or after field installation, is based on KYNAR ADS2 fluorinated copolymer resin by Arkema and PPG proprietary chemistry. It is available in a wide range of solid, metallic and pearlescent colors and in PPG’s infrared-reflective (IR-reflective) pigment technology.
Because of its single-component formulation, Duranar ADS coating has the flexibility to be applied by fingernail brush for small touch-ups at the end of a production line, or to be spray-applied. It is ideal for use on window frames, door frames, roofs and metal wall panels marred during fabrication or installation.
