Axalta Coats Field Goal Posts for Philadelphia Eagles

Lincoln Financial Field – Home to the Philadelphia Eagles – Will Have
its Field Goal Posts Coated with Axalta Coating Systems’
High-performance Polyester Powder

PHILADELPHIA–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Axalta Coating Systems (NYSE: AXTA), a leading global supplier of liquid
and powder coatings, has given the field goal posts at Lincoln Financial
Field, home to the Philadelphia Eagles, a new look for the start of the
football season with its premier industrial coating. Alesta®
Polyester Architectural AE Gloss RAL 1016 in Sulfur Yellow has been
selected as the color and product of choice due to its high-performance
coverage, durability, and functionality.

“We recently reevaluated our overall procedure because we found
ourselves having to repaint the field goal posts multiple times during
the year,” said Tony Leonard, Director of Grounds, Philadelphia Eagles.
“We went to our partner Axalta Coating Systems to find a solution that
would provide us with the durability we need. Thanks to their innovation
and expertise in the field, Axalta’s reliable coating will allow our
field goal posts to withstand the weather elements and maintain NFL
specifications.”

The broad range of Alesta architectural grade polyesters includes a
variety of finishes and effects, which give a game-winning appearance
while covering surface imperfections and providing excellent outdoor
durability. Alesta AR 300 Polyester coatings meet and exceed AAMA 2603
standards and carry up to a 10-year UV resistance warranty. They are
manufactured and individually tested in accordance with ISO 9000 quality
systems to ensure excellent performance and color consistency.

“In addition to providing high-performance industrial coatings, as a
Philadelphia-based company Axalta has a strong partnership with the
Philadelphia Eagles through the Axalta All-Pro Teacher program, the
Axalta Tunnel Club, and a variety of other ongoing community
activities,” said Michael Cash, President, Industrial Coatings. “Coating
the Eagles’ goal posts is meaningful to our relationship with the
Eagles, as well as our relationship with the great city of Philadelphia.”

In addition to Lincoln Financial Field, Axalta coats goal posts for high
schools, universities, and other NFL stadiums, all of which must stand
up to harsh outdoor elements and abrasion.
