Innovative powder coatings that perform as well as they look.

PPG's CORAFLON® Platinum represents a breakthrough in powder coating technology. Coatings offer FGIA/AAMA 2605-compliance, backed by more than 9 years of test data (Florida), and a high transfer efficiency rate that is 20% higher than standard FEVE powders. But that’s just the beginning, follow along below to learn more about the color and performance benefits available for architectural and extrusion sheet aluminum.

A new study of competing FEVE fluoropolymer coatings demonstrates PPG CORAFLON® Platinum powder is in a class of its own.

In comparison to other hyper-durable products on the market, PPG Coraflon Platinum exhibited twenty times the color retention of competitors' FEVE powder coatings. New data indicates that Coraflon Platinum powder maintains its performance significantly at the five-year mark, whereas competing architectural powder coatings show a notable decline in color stability.

Coraflon Platinum FEVE fluoropolymer powder coatings were designed with color fastness and longevity in mind. 

Color that lasts beyond the specification

Five-year South Florida exposure: PPG Coraflon Platinum powder versus a rival hyper-durable brand. Coraflon Platinum powder demonstrated stability with minimal color and gloss change.

Twelve-year South Florida exposure: PPG Coraflon Platinum powder not only performed comfortably within the criteria for FGIA/AAMA 2605 specification, but also maintained its exceptional stability and performance well beyond the ten-year benchmark.

*All tests performed by independent third-party laboratory using Section 8.9 of AAMA 2605 standards. 

*Coraflon Platinum coatings are specifically formulated without TGIC, PFOA (Perfluorooctanoic acid), fluorosurfactants, VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds), HAPs (Hazardous Air Pollutants), Living Building Challenge (LBC) Red List substances and are REACH compliant - Substances of Very High Concern (SVHCs)
