Technical Polymers Architectural/Construction
 Kynar 500® PVDF and Rilsan® Fine Powder offer long lasting performance in demanding architectural coating applications.
Kynar 500® Polyvinylidene Fluoride (PVDF) resins are used by licensed industrial paint manufacturers in formulating long-life coatings for application on:
|
Aluminum
Galvanized steel
Aluminized steel | Kynar 500® resin based coatings applications include:
- Metal roofing and siding
- Window and door frames
- Curtain wall
- Miscellaneous metal trim and components.
Rilsan® Fine Powder polyamide 11 powder coatings are highly resistant to abrasion and graffiti. Rilsan® Fine Powder coatings are used in many commercial high traffic applications such as:
- Hand railings
- Benches
- Door knob and handle applications
Functional Polyolefins
- Bitumen Modification
Compatible and easily dispersed, the addition of Evatane® Resins or Lotryl™ Resins dramatically improves the elastic behaviour (for better rutting and fatigue performance) and ageing resistance of bitumen. Cohesion between binders and aggregates for longer life of the bitumen layer is enhanced. In addition, Evatane® Resins and Lotryl™ Resins contribute to increase safety by optimising skid resistance and stopping distance.They also improve the level of comfort by reducing traffic noise. These copolymers are also used to produce waterproof roofing membranes.
- Anticorrosion Pipe Coating System
Trisys®, the three-layer pipe coating system epoxy / adhesive / PE or PP shows the highest efficiency in corrosion protection of oil and gas pipelines. Arkema is the leader in this field with adhesives and topcoats used by the main coaters all over the world. Functional Polyolefins offers a wide range of products from Orevac™ Resins to Orevac™ Resin based powders for field repair joints and fittings.
- Flooring
Halogen free, flame resistant low smoke and non-toxic materials have become increasingly important for flooring applications. This has forced the development of PVC alternatives. As it accepts a high level of fillers, due to its high polarity, Lotryl™ Resin is the material of choice in order to develop HFFR compounds. These products have low maintenance costs together with good chemical and scratch resistance. Designers can let their imagination flow with these products.
- Underfloor heating tube
The coextrusion of heating pipes with a layer of Soarnol® EVOH makes it possible to reduce thediffusion of oxygen into the heating circuits, thus drastically reducing corrosion. Orevac™ Resins give good adhesion between Soarnol® EVOH and PE/PP, or aluminium and PE/PP. In addition to their excellent adhesion, Orevac™ Resins offer good heat resistance, making them best suited for this application.
