Green building principles relate to exterior coatings in terms of their ability to control and deflect heat. For architects specifying pre-finished metal roofs or wall panels, that often means limiting color choices to white and other light shades. Now architects wishing to express a more creative and colorful vision for their exterior metal components have allies in Duranar® ULTRA-Cool® coatings by PPG. Formulated with a proprietary, infrared-reflective coating technology, Duranar ULTRA-Cool coatings allow architects to brighten metal roofs and wall panels with a bold selection of colors, including medium tones, while reaping their heat-reflective benefits. Many of these color options meet industry-recognized reflectance criteria and are listed in ENERGY STAR® and Cool Roof Rating Council product directories.
Complementary Duranar VARI-Cool coatings offer brilliant color shifts and unique looks. This is the only coil-formed polychromatic coatings integrating energy-saving ULTRA-Cool technology. The cooling effects of Duranar ULTRA-Cool and Duranar VARI-Cool coatings will offer potential benefits such as reduced air conditioning costs for commercial and residential construction, plus improved comfort levels for building occupants.
With proven durability and performance in the most challenging building environments, it's no wonder that architects have trusted and specified Duranar coatings for more than 40 years. Duranar powder coatings were recently introduced as an extension of the existing line of Duranar liquid coatings for monumental applications such as building panels, curtain walls and store fronts. Duranar powder coatings have the environmental benefits of a zero-VOC powder coating and also have the same durability, color and gloss retention, and chalk, corrosion and stain resistance as Duranar liquid coatings, outperforming completing powder coatings manufactured with similar resins.
