May 29, 20242 min read
When it comes to building maintenance, one of the most persistent challenges is preserving the integrity and aesthetics of exterior surfaces. Architects, engineers, property managers and building owners know well the grueling effects of the Caribbean environment with the relentless onslaught of environmental elements that degrade properties over time.
Now there is a groundbreaking solution NeverFade® Façade Restoration Coatings which harnesses the power of Kynar Aquatec® PVDF resin, an ultra-long lasting solution that boasts an array of benefits that redefine the standards for exterior coatings.
The NeverFade® Chemistry
The heart of the Kynar® PVDF emulsion technology is the carbon-fluorine (C-F) bond, which is the key ingredient in NeverFade® formulations. The C-F bond is one of the strongest bonds and is the basis for extreme weather-ability, withstanding harsh thermal, chemical, and ultraviolet environmental conditions. Now available in a water-based, low odour formulation that can be applied by brush and roller, this unique technology is the easiest way to get performance that is as-good or better than industrial/factory-applied coatings, without the associated costs and risks.
The Benefits of NeverFade® Façade Restoration Coatings
NeverFade® Façade Restoration Coatings offer a multitude of benefits due to its exceptional resilience and longevity.
Enhanced UV Protection NeverFade®is engineered with complex inorganic color pigments (CICP). Unlike widely used organic pigments, CICP’s provide enhanced performance in heat and chemical stability, UV opacity, hiding power, and infrared (IR) reflectivity. In NeverFade®, CICP’s are encapsulated by the PVDF polymer providing an even heightened defense against our extreme world, especially UV.
Longer Lifecycles, Less Maintenance – Guaranteed NeverFade®coatings provide a 15+ year lifecycle, offering long-term protection against the relentless forces of time and weather. Our products come with a 15-year colour warranty, which includes product and labour, to protect against fading and degradation. As architects, specifiers, building managers, or owners, you can rest assured that your investment in NeverFade® delivers enduring performance and value.
Dirt-Free Surfaces for Years The innovative design of NeverFade®prevents dirt and debris from adhering to surfaces. With its debris-resistant pigment, it ensures a consistently clean and attractive exterior with minimal maintenance requirements.By keeping dirt and debris at bay, NeverFade® coatings reduce cleaning efforts and prolonged intervals between maintenance cycles.
Durability in High-Traffic Areas Neverfade®Façade Restoration Coatings consist of Kynar Aquatec® PVDF resin. This specialized resin is a water-based and VOC-free formulation that gives NeverFade® unrivaled adhesion and durability As a result, NeverFade® Restoration Coatings remain on surfaces for years without chipping, giving you unmatched durability even when you use them in areas exposed to high traffic and activity.
Protection Against Mold and Algae NeverFade®Façade Restoration Coatings also consist of fungicide co-resins capable of protecting surfaces from mold and algae. NeverFade® actively inhibits the growth of algae and mold to preserve the pristine appearance and structural integrity of facades even in humid or damp climates.
Lower Long Term Cost and Less Disruption While initially more expensive, NeverFade®coatings don’t need to be repainted, repaired, or cleaned nearly as often as conventional coatings, which leads to lower cost longer term, and a lot less disruption for building tenants, guests and property managers.
