Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How does fluorocarbon finish compare to traditional paint?
A: Fluorocarbon finishes offer 3-4 times longer service life than conventional paints, with superior color retention and chalk resistance.

Q: What substrates can this coating be applied to?
A: Suitable for aluminum, galvanized steel, pre-treated metals, and properly prepared fiberglass/composite surfaces.

Q: Is primer required?
A: Yes, we recommend our compatible fluorocarbon primer system for optimal performance.

Q: What maintenance is required?
A: Simple cleaning with mild detergent and water annually is typically sufficient to maintain appearance.

Q: How much longer does fluorocarbon finish last compared to regular paint?
A: Fluorocarbon (PVDF) finishes outperform conventional paints by 3-4 times, typically lasting 20+ years versus 5-7 years for standard paints. They maintain over 95% color retention after a decade of sun exposure, while most paints show significant fading within 3-5 years.

Q: What metals work best with fluorocarbon coating?
A: Our coating is specially formulated for:
• Aluminum (architectural cladding, windows)
• Galvanized steel (roofing, industrial equipment)
• Pre-treated metals (ASTM D1730 compliant)
• Fiberglass/composites (with proper surface preparation)

Q: Do I need to use primer with fluorocarbon finish?
A: Absolutely. For maximum:
✔ Adhesion (5B per ASTM D3359)
✔ Corrosion resistance (5,000+ hours salt spray)
✔ Longevity
We require our FL-2000 primer system – apply 0.3-0.5 mils before topcoat.

Q: How do I clean and maintain fluorocarbon coated surfaces?
A: Follow this easy protocol:

Annual cleaning: Mild soap + water (pH 6-8)

Stubborn stains: Use isopropyl alcohol (<10% solution)

Never use: Abrasives, acid cleaners, or high-pressure washes (>800 psi)
Maintenance needs are 70% less than traditional paints.
