The precision perforations in the wall panels allow outside air to travel through the face of the panel. Solar heated air at the surface of the panel is drawn through the perforations where it rises between the two walls and enters the building’s central ventilation system or supply fan.

Nearly all industries have felt the pain of supply chain issues. The construction industry has been dealing with supply chain issues for several years now, posing a continuous challenge to completing projects timely and within budget.

The world’s demand of Polyvinylidene Fluoride to make high-performance industrial coatings is affecting capacity.

Coil and extruded metal manufacturers concerned about challenges in the PVDF supply chain can achieve a comparable finish and performance using non-PVDF alternatives in most applications, advises a new whitepaper from AkzoNobel, the leading coatings and paints manufacturer.

Metal plate is beneficial for a variety of projects where durability is critical for an important reason: It is corrosion- and abrasion-resistant.

Demand for coated metal in applications and segments like metal roofing and building and construction is rising exponentially, fueled by a global boom in commercial, residential and industrial construction and renovation activity. 

In the face of on-going uncertainty in global PVDF supply chains, AkzoNobel, the leading coatings and paints manufacturer, has launched a campaign to help its partners navigate the changing PVDF landscape.

When the Florida Roofing & Sheet Metal Contractors Association designed its new headquarters, they knew it needed to be built with materials that were energy-efficient, code-compliant and long-lasting. To ensure a long-lasting exterior, they turned to coatings and component finishes made with Kynar 500 and Kynar Aquatec PVDF resin.
