PVDF (Polyvinylidene Fluoride)
PVDF is a highly non-reactive and pure thermoplastic fluoropolymer used in a variety of applications where the highest purity, strength,
and resistance to solvents, acids, bases, and heat are required. As an added bonus, PVDF has the ability to self-extinguish and generates little
smoke in the event of a fire. PVDF paint systems are developed using specialized ceramic pigments combined with fluoropolymer resins to create
high-end coatings for metals. These PVDF paints have extremely good gloss and color retention, superior resistance to chalk and fade, and
excellent resistance to the effects of weathering in harsh environments. PVDF paint systems typically come with a standard 30-year limited
warranty offered by the paint manufacturer. PVDF pre-painted steel has been the go-to product for architects and designers around the world to
achieve beautiful, vibrant colors with the added benefits of flexibility, durability, and low maintenance that only steel can provide. PVDF pre-
painted steel is best suited for high-end applications such as commercial or residential roofing, pre-engineered buildings, architectural wall
panels, facades, and other applications where durability and long-lasting performance are required.
SMP (Silicone-Modified Polyester)
SMP paint systems are developed using a blend of polyester and silicone agents. Silicone acts to improve the gloss retention and weather
resistance of the polyester coating. As a rule, the higher the silicone content, the better the performance of the paint. SMP pre-painted steel has
been used in the construction industry for decades and is preferred
by many building owners due to the relative durability of the coating and the budget-friendly cost as compared to other more expensive paint
systems. SMP paint systems typically come with a standard 40-year limited warranty but the length and what is covered may vary by paint
manufacturer. SMP pre-painted steel is best suited for applications such as residential roofing, agricultural buildings, storage sheds, and other
applications where color selection, coating performance, and durability are important to the overall project.
