Roof&Facade Asia Paints & Coatings Fluoropolymer powder coatings for architectural projects Heavy duty aluminised roof coating VULKEM 801 from TREMCO, is a liquid-applied, one-part, polyurethane coating system that has been formulated to have high tensile strength, tear strength and elongation. The coating forms a tough, weatherresistant, waterproof, elastomeric coating for application over old, builtup, roofing systems. VULKEM 801 is suitable for application on built-up roofing systems that have had loose ballast completely removed and major defects repaired and levelled by conventional methods. VULKEM 801 has good resistance to ponded water and to most acids, alkalis, salts, fats and solvents. RnF Enquiry No: 10/106 FLUOROSET FP was applied as a protective coating on the Tauranga Yacht Club, New Zealand, in 1991 and has proven to perform under the aggressive marine environment in the coastal area. FLUOROSET FP is a thermosetting fluoropolymer (PVF3) powder coating designed specifically for prestigious and monumental architectural projects where long-term colour stability, remarkable gloss retention, high mar resistance, low grime pick-up, quality of coating finish and extension of life to first maintenance are top priorities. The easy-to-apply single-coat powder coating imparts good resistance to chemicals and solvents as well as mechanical properties and abrasion resistance. Manufactured by Orica Powder Coatings, a division of Orica Coatings, FLUOROSET FP has been developed as a high quality surface finish that offers longterm protection for steelworks and architectural aluminium works, which include window and door frames, panel cladding, extrusions, louvres, mullions, grilles, sunscreens, canopies and various other aluminium fittings, for commercial, residential, institutional and industrial buildings. It has been proven that FLUOROSET FP which was released in 1991, can retain its gloss and colour for many years in the severe tropical climates of Asia and under extreme UV exposure and coastal conditions as in Australia and New Zealand. FLUOROSET FP is formulated using advanced fluoropolymer resin technology, and utilises high performance exterior durable pigments. This tough resilient and low maintenance coating is available in a range of aesthetic, made-to-order colours including metallic and pearlescent colours, from satin to semi-gloss finishes. FLUOROSET FP is factory-applied over a suitably pretreated aluminium substrate such as extrusions and panels. It can also be used on specially pre-primed steelworks. FLUOROSET FP uses no solvents in the manufacturing or coating process, thus contributing to environment-friendliness, and it does not pose a fire hazard. The thermosetting FLUOROSET FP powder coating is fully cross-linked during the curing process, thus resulting in a robust and hard-wearing surface coating that is suitable for use in high traffic zones such as building entrances and shopfront areas where PVF2/PVDF coating systems are often not used because of concerns of high mechanical damage. FLUOROSET FP gives an ultra thin and smooth film appearance. It is thus suitable for panelworks and sheets that have been traditionally coated using PVF2/PVDF paint. FLUOROSET FP conforms/exceeds the requirements of the international recognised standard AAMA2605-98 (the newly upgraded specification of AAMA 605.2 released for Superior Performing Organic Coatings) and the regional standards of AS 3715 and BS 6496. Orica offers the extended 15 years/20 years film integrity and colour stability warranty for FLUOROSET FP on aluminium works so long as it is applied only by Orica Registered Applicators. Orica Coatings is an integral part of Orica Australia Pty Ltd which was established in February 1998, to take over the operations of ICI Australia, a world leader in paint technology and architectural surface coatings for 80 years. RnF Enquiry No: 10/105 The external facade of The Belle Forte, a 20-storey condominium in Singapore, was finished with AcraTex Texture Coating System from Orica. The system comprising one coat of 501/2 AcraPrime Sealer, one coat of 957 Granitti Sorrento – SO 004, and two coats of 956/2 AcraGlaze Silicone Clear, provides a high quality, aesthetically pleasing and durable textured stone finish. AcraTex High Performance Texture Systems THE protective qualities and aesthetic appeal of AcraTex High Performance Texture Systems from Orica Texture Coatings, have contributed to their popularity in the Australian, New Zealand and, more recently, the Asian texture coatings markets. AcraTex High Performance Texture Systems are easy to apply, retain their colour, and guard against dirt pick-up, carbonation, as well as mould and algae growth. They come in a large selection of fashionable colours and profiles. Individual products are formulated for specific performance characteristics including resistance to water ingress, acid rain, environmental pollution, scuffs and stains, as well as heavy wear and tear.
