FLUOROCARBON PAINT
FLUOROCARBON PAINT PROCESS

- The HOT-DIP GALVANIZING is the process of immersing steel in a bath of molten zinc to produce a corrosion resistant, multi-layered coating of zinc-iron alloy and zinc metal.
- The MICACEOUS IRON OXIDE COATINGS contains iron oxide pigment, which has excellent durability and abrasion resistance. The micaceous iron oxide pigment particles are interlocked in the film to form a barrier to prevent moisture from entering and to improve the resistance to UV degradation.
- The FLUOROCARBON METALLIC PRIMER is necessary to ensure good adhesion and anti-corrosive property.
- The FLUOROCARBON PAINT has a superior performance such as weather resistance, heat resistance, low temperature resistance and chemical resistance.
- The main reasons for TOUCH UP are to conclude on a perfect finish and, in turn, repair the areas that were left unprotected.
- The POLYVINYLIDENE FLUORIDE CLEAR works as a overcoat for metallic finishing coat. Clear coat paints not only provide protection to the doors and windows's paint but also make repairs and maintenance easier.


FLUOROCARBON POWDER COATING PAINT - Material

Fluorocarbon powder coating is a poly-vinylidene fluoride resin NCH2CF2 baking (CH2CF2) n (PVDF) as the base material or with metallic aluminum powder coating made for the toner.

Bond of fluorine / carbonized the fluorocarbon base material in the chemical structure in conjunction with such a structure of the nature of having a short key is combined with hydrogen ions most stable solid combination, on the stability and solidity of the chemical structure different physical properties of the fluorocarbon paint in general coatings.
The advantages of fluorocarbon powder paint Addition to abrasion resistance in mechanical properties, impact resistance, has excellent performance, particularly in adverse weather conditions and the environment, showing a lasting anti-fade resistance, UV resistance properties. Early 1960s for engineering plastics, for wires and cables, 1965 Pennwalt Chemical Company first polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) as the synthetic construction of the base material and metal particles, aluminum powder finishes, also known as metallic paint, and as trademarks to Kynar500. Thus the world manufacturers has started using Kynar500 create a fluorocarbon coating finishes, to meet the high-end architectural interior and exterior steel and aluminum coating, a wide range of color choices, beautiful and dignified appearance, and durability for many of the world grand adding luster to the curtain wall construction. Paint manufacturers guarantee on the service life of the coating for 10 years, 15 years of development to guarantee 20 years.
American research institutes had fluorocarbon coating and super paint, the general paint did test compared, respectively coated sample on the searing sunlight in Florida, and 12 years of exposure to the harsh environment of the humid salty air, the actual prove the stability and durability of the fluorocarbon coating 30 and 80 percentage points higher than the other two coating, fluorocarbon coating guaranteed for use in a variety of harsh environments.

Spraying technology requirements and standards of fluorocarbon coating Fluorocarbon spraying as a high-grade surface coating process means the whole process extremely strict quality requirements, production Kynar500 Binders fluorocarbon coating, fluorocarbon coating manufacturer is required to obtain quality permission to use the entire surface of the paint manufacturers process, including pre-treatment process, the spraying process to the curing process are subject to a strict quality control to ensure the quality of the aluminum coating. fluorocarbon spraying sector today AAMA 605.02.90 main basis for the American Architectural Manufacturers Association. This spray standards, check the coating quality international standard following is the main indicator in the the AAMA the 605.02.90 standard of fluorocarbon spraying.

METALIZED HAND PATINA FINISH

Hand-applied patina finishes seem to provide a bell-weather for developing trends in architectural finish preferences.

This photo shows a very light, almost natural patina finish on our Pure Steel Line developed for a boutique hotel patio lounge area in Beverly Hills, CA.

These light patina requests seem to be a growing trend. It wasn’t that long ago that a patina finish on steel would be called “Natural Aged” and everyone knew pretty much what it was going to look like. That’s no longer the case.

Medium to dark patinas can help in hiding a multitude of sins – inherent defects in the steel substrate, some of the minor striations from the extrusion process and, of course, the welding of the miter joins.

New application techniques and new welding alloys have changed the aesthetic outcomes of light patinas on steel. Expectation management remains very important for responsible manufacturers, but there are fewer inherent pitfalls that must be addressed in order for everyone to make a fully informed decision.

The choice of patina today is more clearly an aesthetic preference. Some light patina finishes can appear too consistent, or in some cases cloud the deep luster of the bronze itself – one of its most desirable features for many people.

The mottled effect of a naturally-aged steel surface, encouraged with a medium patina, is often more preferable and blends more consistently with the overall design intent of the envelope. The inherent inconsistencies are a valued element of the aesthetic. The finish is more organic.

Depending on what the Owner wants and expects with a hand-applied “living” finish, it’s worth asking your steel door & window fabricator plenty of questions so you can best understand your patina choice.


Patinas are like your kids – you never really know how they’re going to turn out.

The hand-applied patina finishes on Steel are often called “Living Finishes.” For good reason. They change over time, ideally assuming a naturally-aged aesthetic and subtle mottled character. It’s worth understanding this behavior so the entire design team is prepared for the changes in appearance.
If hand-applied patinas are not maintained, eventually the organic nature of the material will take over.

Clients may expect Galvanized Steel to be “maintenance-free.” It won’t be – unless you actually do just want to let it do its thing, come what may.

If the design intent is to preserve something close to the original patina appearance, it will require maintenance. That is the nature of the material. The rate of change in the patina can be mitigated, but you can’t stop nature. (You’ll find practices for maintaining your HERRERO steel product outlined in our PDF:
HERRERO CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Variables to Consider
How the Steel Hand Patina changes over time will depend on several variables.
1. Composition of the Steel and its substrates.
2. Patination or other protective treatments applied at the factory.
3. Weather.
4. Location and exposure to rain, sun, and other climatic conditions.
5. Atmospheric pollutants.
6. Scheduled maintenance/cleaning.
7. Adjacent materials including residual core materials.

Understanding what to expect with Galvanized Steel and Steel patinas is as important as with any other variable architectural material, maybe more so given the relative size of the investment. Expecting patinas to remain unchanged or to be identical is not realistic, it will always have the beauty of a hand made process and the slightly differences of it too.

SUPER DURABLE POWDER COATING

Our powder coating topcoat was chosen because of its consistency and maintenance-free durability. This process provides full coverage and is most popular in high exposure and coastal applications. Various standard and custom colors can be provided according to requirements, and the color options are endless.
