- Optional Finish: Class II 204R1, medium etch (AA-M32C10A31)
Fluoropolymer (Kynar/Hylar)®: "EK"
Kynar/Hylar is a 70% fluoropolymer resin based 2-coat baked on paint that is offered as an optional finish where high durability is required and/or the moldings must match existing colors.
This premium finish is recommended for exterior applications where harsh conditions exist. It is extremely resistant to ultraviolet color degradation and chalking. It is available in a wide variety of colors.
Note: Certain colors require a Kynar XL (with topcoat) given the exotic nature of the color. Please advise customer service of the required color prior to job costing due to the fact that these colors require additional cost and minimum order quantities.
Specifications:
Typical Finish meets or exceeds AAMA 605.2 Specification "Voluntary Specification for High Performance Organic on Architectural Extrusion Panels." Meets or exceeds a nominal dry film thickness of 1.2 mil. Kynar® is a Registered Trademark of Atochem North America, Inc.
Color Anodized:
The following color anodized finishes are available as special order items: Gold, Light Bronze, Medium Bronze, Dark Bronze and Black. Color anodized finishes can vary from piece to piece. This is a characteristic of the anodizing process and should be taken into account prior to placing an order. Typically, the color of the extrusions will fall within a certain range, and this range can be established before anodizing. Check with customer service for details.
Specifications:
Color Anodized Finish: Integral colors to conform with designation 3AA-M112C22A32 of the Aluminum Association.
Alodine/Chem-Film: "ECH"
Alodine/Chem-film is a chemical conversion process that protects the aluminum extrusion until a primer coat can be applied in the field. Chemical conversion should be specified for all extrusions to be field painted.
Specifications:
Chemical Conversion Finish: Conforms with ASTM D 1730 Type B and MIL-C-5541A.
