KYNAR 500® OR HYLAR 5000® COATING

The fluoropolymer finish with the brand name of KYNAR 500® or HYLAR 5000® is one of the finest finishes available for aluminum or galvanized steel, noted for its long life, color retention and resistance to fading and chalking.

The molecular bonding of the carbon and fluorine is one of the strongest known, and the key to unsurpassed thermal, chemical and ultraviolet resistance properties. This bond is combined with carbon/hydrogen groups to form a unique polarity which gives the finish outstanding resistance to dirt retention and environmental aging. This fluoropolymer based finish is factory applied and over baked by the coil coater. The metal can be bent, shaped, crimped and formed after being coated, without any blistering or cracking.

KYNAR 500® or HYLAR 5000® finishes are virtually maintenance free and non-staining. Should cleaning be required, either conventional detergents or solvent-type cleaners, as recommended by the supplier, can be used. A fluoropolymer coated panel will look as good years from now as it does when installed.
