PAINT SYSTEMS
Metal Sales Manufacturing Corporation uses high quality paint systems designed to provide long term performance and protection. Each
coating is formulated with thoroughly researched, tested, and field proven pretreatments, primers, resins, and pigments that can meet your
design and performance requirements.
PVF2 (FLUOROCARBON):
This paint system combines ceramic pigmentation with polyvinylidene fluoride for a superior, long-lasting performance. PVF2 finishes are
respected for their durability, resistance to chalking and fading, chemical resistance, and color retention. Please note: PVF2 finishes meet
both Kynar 500 and Hylar 5000 specifications; Kynar and Hylar are produced under license from Elf Atochem North America, Inc. and
Ausimont, respectively.
MS COLORFAST 25®
This is a thermoset coating system composed of polyester resin which has been modified with a silicone resin. Much like the PVF2 finish,
the Colorfast 25® finish offers good protection to the elements with special consideration to chalk and fade resistance, durability, and
chemical resistance. |
