Our licensees manufacture the final coatings.  These talented licensees have a wide range of colors available and often can color-match your needed shade.  Since Kynar Aquatec® PVDF resin-based coatings do not require heat-curing, a wide range of pigments are available.

The coating performance warranties are provided by our approved coating licensees.  The licensees base their warranty on the extreme weatherabilty and long life afforded by the Kynar Aquatec® PVDF resin and the highly-weatherable pigments used in their coating formulations, and are often industry-leading warranties.  For detailed information on the warranties, please contact our licensees directly.

Extreme Weatherability

Kynar Aquatec® PVDF resin-based coatings have been on exposure in the demanding South Florida sun for over 20 years.  These coatings are performing similarly to traditional Kynar 500® resin-based coatings.

Pigment Selection

Pigment selection is key for long-life span.  Our Licensees have years of experience selecting highly-weatherable pigments.

Long-Life Warranty

Kynar Aquatec® licensees formulate the end-coating and provide you with a warranty.  For more details, please visit our licensee's webpage.

Proper surface preparation is a key to solid performance.  Rust, cracked, and loose coatings should be removed.  The surface should be properly primed prior to applying a Kynar Aquatec® PVDF resin-based coating.   Kynar Aquatec® licensees can provide specific guidance based on the substrate and the project.
