DuPont PVF coating technology, redefining metal protection standards

DuPont PVF Coating Technology Principle

Simon PVF coated metal panels use DuPont PVF (polyvinyl fluoride) material, and through independent R&D successfully transformed into coating technology, combining PVF coating with metal substrate to form a dense protective layer.

PVDF material contains about 30% plasticizers such as acrylic, which cannot withstand long-term sun exposure and has weak corrosion resistance. PVF material contains no plasticizers and is the most UV-resistant, anti-aging, and corrosion-resistant material among fluororesin materials. PVF material gives the coating excellent chemical corrosion resistance, UV aging resistance and weather resistance.

  • Dense pore-free structure, blocks corrosive medium penetration
  • Excellent anti-UV performance, no powdering for 50 years
  • Wide temperature resistance range, stable operation from -40°C to +120°C
  • Self-cleaning surface, extremely low maintenance costs
