Consider your options that enhance, protect and endure.

Permadize® Hardcoat Finishes combine the proven durability of 50% fluoropolymer resins with a rich metallic pearlescence to create vibrant colors that transform your perception of finishes. The Permadize® secret is its formulation process in which the pearlescent highlights are combined with texturizers – small, metallic-like particles – that add increased abrasion resistance. The result is a hard finish that blends beauty with everyday toughness and mar resistance.

PERFORMANCE THAT MEETS AAMA 2604 REQUIREMENTS

Permadize® finishes stand up to normal use, abuse and weathering; ultimately, they help hold down building maintenance costs. Proven to perform, Permadize® Hardcoat Finishes are tested to meet the most stringent standards and have surpassed the AAMA 2604 testing requirements. The specification allows non-chrome pretreatment and covers a period of five years of South Florida exposure as well as tough abrasion, gloss retention and adhesion tests (see table opposite). The added hardness of the 50% Kynar formulation enhances protection against finish damage and touchups that are sometimes required during transportation, installation and everyday use.

This is a paint that endures along with your architectural statement. Permafluor™ is formulated to maintain integrity for years. Outstanding durability translates to substantial maintenance savings over the life of the building. Thousands of buildings throughout the world are a testament to the lasting beauty and performance of Kawneer standard Permafluor™ Architectural Coatings.

SPECIFICATIONS THAT MEET AAMA 2605 REQUIREMENTS

Permafluor™ coating will meet or exceed test requirements of AAMA 2605, Voluntary Specification, Performance Requirements and Test Procedures for Superior Performing Organic Coatings on Aluminum Extrusions and Panels.

The following are guidelines for specifying and applying Permafluor™ coatings:

  • Pretreatment – The aluminum shall be thoroughly cleaned using a multistage cleaning process to remove organic and inorganic surface soils and residual oxides. Apply a chemical conversion coating to which organic coatings will firmly adhere.
  • Primer – The cleaned and treated substrate shall be primed to a thickness of 0.2 – 0.3 mils using approved factory application methods.
  • Paint – The Permafluor™ paint system shall contain 70% PVDF (Hylar 5000® or Kynar 500®) resin and durable ceramic pigments. It shall be factory applied and oven baked for a topcoat film thickness of 1.0 mil minimum. Clear topcoat, if required, shall be applied at 0.4 – 0.8 mils.

Permacoat™ powder coatings are solvent-free and emit no volatile organic chemicals (VOCs) into the atmosphere. These powder paint systems require less energy to apply and reduce waste in application, as overspray can be reclaimed and reused. Sometimes known as dry paint, powder coatings are solvent-free, emit no volatile organic chemicals into the atmosphere and are more energy efficient to apply. Powder coatings provide a solution to environmental concerns while offering high performance, durability and a wide variety of color options.

PERFORMANCE THAT MEETS AAMA 2604 REQUIREMENTS

  • Kawneer’s Permacoat™ powder coatings are the solution for new or remodel projects requiring a solvent-free finish that:
  • Meets the requirements of AAMA 2604
  • Demonstrates outstanding gloss and color retention
  • Complies with most environmental regulations
  • Provides optimal corrosion resistance
  • Exhibits durability, excellent mechanical properties and abrasion resistance
  • Competes with solvent-based paints in all respects

Anodizing is a general term that describes the process of converting the surface of aluminum to aluminum oxide. Under carefully controlled conditions, anodizing produces a uniform oxide coating. Controlled anodizing produces a coating that protects aluminum from the environment. It is a long-lasting and proven coating that resists scratching, abrasion and corrosion from marine or industrial atmospheres and provides excellent protection from the sun’s damaging ultraviolet rays.

PERFORMANCE THAT MEETS AAMA 611 REQUIREMENTS

  • Superior surface hardness, abrasion resistance and scratch resistance.
  • Will not peel or chalk.
  • Inorganic coating is an integral part of the aluminum.
  • Limited color selections (clear, black and bronzes).*
  • Poor resistance to alkaline and acid.
