Performance
Kynar® provides the highest performance available in an air dry coating
Fluorocarbon Polymers are recognised throughout the world as being the most stable resins known to man for providing protection against U.V. light. Its properties make it the best coating for aluminium and steel because of its resistance to the effects of weathering.
Kynar® Performance surpasses the best urethane finishes

Comparison between the performance of PVF2 and Urethane and Acrylic based paints.
Kynar® - Excellent Dirt Shedding
Coatings based on Kynar Aquatec® emulsions pick up very little dirt, which allows white coatings to stay white. Figures 1 and 2 show the dirt shedding performance of these coatings compared to an acrylic coating.
Spot and Graffiti Tests
The easy reparation of PVF2 panels even after use of motor oil, magic marker, lipstick and other substances traditionally difficult to remove or cover.
