PPG (NYSE: PPG) today announced that its coil and building products
business will exhibit at FACADES+ Los Angeles at The L.A. Hotel
Downtown, Oct. 19-20. PPG representatives will provide information,
answer questions and distribute literature about premium DURANAR® and
CORAFLON® metal coatings throughout the two-day event.
PPG is marking the 50th anniversary of Duranar coatings,
which helped revolutionize the architectural industry when they were
introduced in 1967. As one of the first polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF)
coatings, Duranar coatings enabled architects to specify,
for the first time, colorful metal coatings with exceptional chalk- and
fade-resistance. Since their debut, these products have been chosen by
renowned architects to protect and beautify landmark buildings around
the world. These include First Interstate World Tower (now U.S. Bank
Tower) in Los Angeles, the tallest building in California that is
located just a few blocks from the FACADES+ Los Angeles event.
Other prominent structures finished with Duranar coatings
include the Louvre Pyramid in Paris, One World Trade Center (Freedom
Tower) in New York, Shanghai World Financial Center in China, and
Petronas Towers in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
PPG also will hand out its new Architectural Powder Coatings Color
Guide, a six-page brochure featuring 60 commonly specified Coraflon powder
coatings colors. Coraflon powder coatings are formulated to
provide exceptional ultraviolet (UV) durability, colorfastness and gloss
retention. They can adhere to metal as a one-coat paint system or
function as a two-coat paint system with a primer for harsh environments.
Duranar and Coraflon coatings meet the American
Architectural Manufacturers Association (AAMA) 2605 specification, the
industry’s most rigorous performance standard for color retention, gloss
retention and weathering performance for organic metal coatings.
The leading conference on high-performance and high-design building
skins, FACADES+ Los Angeles offers a robust two-day dialogue that covers
all aspects of the building envelope, including systems integration,
resilient buildings, and sustainable design and construction.
