Based on an ultra-durable polyester formulation proven under more than a decade of South Florida exposure testing, PPG's DURASTAR® aluminum extrusion spray coatings by PPG enable high-performance window, door and building products manufacturers to upgrade from AAMA 2603 to AAMA 2604-level weathering performance without a premium cost investment. This product was designed to be applied directly to metal in one coat on properly cleaned and pretreated surfaces, delivering excellent chalk, fade and UV resistance. Its easy-to-apply formulation has lower VOCs and lower HAPs than 50% PVDF systems used for aluminum extrusions.
Durastar coatings pass AAMA 2604 standards for corrosion resistance, color fastness and durability to high-end, aluminum-extrusion building products and components, including those used in high-traffic areas. The coatings deliver exceptional hardness, scratch resistance and mar resistance in one coat or can be applied over primer to provide enhanced performance in seacoast environments.
