LIQUID KYNAR 500®
Fluoropolymer coatings

Architects and Fabricators are pushing the boundaries of metal applications, and Kynar® 500 PVDF coatings provide the performance needed to make these bold ideas a reality. Unlike powder coatings, Kynar’s high-performance chemistry ensures superior color and gloss retention, resisting the common issues of fading, chalking, and weathering. Its unparalleled durability makes it the top choice for architectural metals exposed to blistering sun, humidity, salt spray, acid rain, and urban grime—conditions that quickly degrade lesser coatings. Additionally, Kynar allows for unlimited color choices, from subtle neutrals to dark hues, without sacrificing longevity. Powder coatings, while initially cost-effective, lack the advanced multi-layer protection of Kynar, which often includes a chrome conversion coating, corrosion-inhibiting primer, the Kynar top-coat, and an optional clear-coat that enhances fade resistance and weatherability.

Beyond aesthetics, Kynar coatings offer a self-cleaning, non-stick surface, similar to Teflon, which helps repel dirt and pollutants, reducing maintenance costs. These characteristics enable architectural components to maintain their integrity and performance for decades. Unlike powder coatings, which can suffer from adhesion failures and require frequent recoating, Kynar’s carbon-fluorine (C-F) bond is one of the strongest known, providing unmatched resistance to UV degradation and environmental stressors. Whether for a modern skyscraper, a high-end residential project, or a coastal installation, Kynar 500 coatings ensure that architectural metals retain their original brilliance, making them the gold standard in metal finishing.
