Based on innovative, patented polyester resin technology, the PPG DURAFORM® family of coatings satisfies a wide range of decorative and functional uses in a variety of different markets. Formulated for single-coat application over aluminum or as a two-coat system with a primer over aluminum or steel substrates, Duraform coatings deliver excellent mechanical properties, hardness, stain resistance and affordability while providing an aesthetic appeal. The coatings are engineered with durable pigments for long-lasting color and higher volume solids versus standard polyester-base coil coatings, making them an ideal choice for a wide variety of end-uses.
