Axalta’s Dura Coat Products to Launch Durapon 70HS PVDF Spray for Aluminum Extrusion Industry

PHILADELPHIA–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Dura Coat, an Axalta Coating Systems (NYSE: AXTA) company, announces its
launch of Durapon 70^TM HS-PVDF spray technology, which is
designed for the aluminum extrusion industry. Available in a variety of
colors including metallic and exotic finishes, Durapon 70 is recommended
for architectural and industrial applications such as windows, curtain
walls, railings, trims, and fascia.

Based on a unique proprietary resin system that incorporates 70 percent
polyvinylidine fluoride, Durapon 70 HS is formulated as a premium finish
to deliver superior protection from acid rain and corrosive
environments. Its improved rheology delivers a smooth finish and higher
volume solids to provide dirt and stain resistance.

“We are excited to officially introduce Durapon 70 HS to our customer
base,” said Dan Knight, Vice President and General Manager for Dura Coat
Products. “This innovative product features little solvent reduction for
spray applications to reduce applied costs by 25 percent and ultimately
save our customers’ time and money.”

Durapon 70 delivers exceptional corrosion protection and meets AAMA
2605-13 certification requirements when applied as a two-coat primer and
finish system by certified applicators to properly cleaned and
pretreated aluminum extrusions. Dura Coat currently uses Durapon 70HS
PVDF spray for monumental and commercial architectural buildings to
enhance the corrosion resistance of pre-treated aluminum for curtain and
wall panels within the high-rise market.
