     Summit Pacific's standard low gloss paint finishes provides one of the most noticeable differences in metal roofing products.  Low gloss finishes provide a richer look, and lend to natural surroundings.   Technology now provides us with the high grade resins combined with special flattening agent which produce a paint that bears the Kynar-500^® name, the world's benchmark in industrial coatings.  Kynar-500^® finishes, with a monitored track record of well over thirty years, provides up to a thirty-year warranty—the finest in the industry. 

Technical Data on Kynar-500^® Finishes

Product Description
     Flouroceram, formulated by Morton International, Inc., is the premium polyvinylidene flouride (PVDF₂) Kynar-500^® based coating system used in our standard ultra low gloss colors.  Flouroceram coatings exhibit exceptional color stability, chalk resistance, durability, abrasion resistance, resistance to most chemicals and solvents, and flexibility.

Composition
     Flouroceram coatings contain a minimum 70% Kynar-500 flouropolymer resin.

Substrates
     G-90 Hot-dipped galvanized steel, Galvalume^®, or Zincalume^® coated steel.

Gloss
     Standard Low Gloss colors have a specular gloss of 15 ±4 @ 85E per ASTM D-523.

Film Thickness
     Flouroceram coatings are typically applied at a dry film thickness of 1.0 mils. The primer is applied at .2 mils and the Flouroceram top coat is applied at a nominal 0.8-0.9 mils.

Warranties
     Warranties for chalk, color change, and film integrity for these finishes are available for qualifying projects. Contact Summit Pacific Metal Sales for details.

Real Copper
   Snap-Lock is available in real copper.  It shall have a minimum copper content of 99.99% copper, silver counting as copper.  It is cold rolled from ingots of 110 alloy copper.  It meets or exceeds the ASTM B 370 specifications with a temper range of a minimum tensile strength of 46 KSI.  It is available in most widths. 
    The natural mill finish of our copper has a warm, attractive, natural appearance, and the beautiful effects resulting from time and weathering are usually left untreated.  Copper standing seam roofing is one of the oldest types of roofing, and has provided centuries of virtually maintenance free service.
