The new Fluropon® Continuum 70% PVDF coating system from Sherwin-Williams offers a mica-based, two-coat system formulated for both coil and extrusion applications that meets and even exceeds both the longevity and color performance of a traditional three-coat approach. Sherwin-Williams is so confident in the performance of Fluropon Continuum – a data-driven, proprietary formulation decades in the making – that it has extended the warranties by five years on the coating system versus traditional two-coat mica systems. Available in 120 standard colors ranging from warms and cools to neutrals, brights and silvers, architects can custom match Fluropon Continuum to nearly any color imaginable.
“While Fluropon Continuum is just coming to market, it already has stood the test of time in performance and color fade through our rigorous testing process. We use strict guidelines and the right combination of raw materials to maximize weathering performance in this new coating,” said Channing Beaudry, global technical director for Sherwin-Williams Coil Coatings. “With Fluropon Continuum, you don’t need that third layer. The research here proves that less is more. Or, put another way, 2>3.”
