Color Coat: The secret of Kynar 500's exceptional weathering properties lies in its molecular structure. The carbon / fluorine bond is one of the strongest molecular bonds. The Kynar 500 resin in combination with highly durable, time tested pigments is the key to the coatings unsurpassed thermal, chemical and ultraviolet resistant properties.

Amorphous Chrome Phosphate Conversion Coating: The chromium phosphate conversion coating provides the ultimate surface protection against corrosion and is an excellent paint anchor.

Kynar XL: The clear polyvinyledine
fluoride (PVDF) top coat protects the
underlying color pigments from the
elements that cause chalking and fade.
The lubricity of the finish also encourages
abrasive elements to skid off rather than
dig in, and this non stick characteristic
also is extremely stain and graffiti
resistant.

Strontium Chromate Primer: The
strontium chromate primer blocks the
intrusion of corrosive air borne
contaminants to the substrate.

Aluminum Substrate:

30 MONTH SOUTH FLORIDA EXPOSURE
Original 1" of sample covered by clamp was not exposed to Florida Sun and atmospheric contaminants.
Same Coating w/ XL ( 3 coat ) To exemplify the significant benefit of sealing the color coat with a clear " XL " fluoropolymer top coat, *non durable pigments* (colorants) were purposely selected for this 30 month South Florida exposure test.		Same Coating non - XL ( 2 coat )
