About Kynar 500® PVDF Resin-Based Coating System

Kynar 500® surface-coating resin is a PVDF-based resin manufactured free of fluorosurfactants and is available in a variety of profiles. Kynar 500® is a popular choice for residential, commercial, and industrial roofing projects. 


Kynar 500® is created using a patented fluorosurfactant-free process and is both color and fade resistant. Kynar 500® provides unparalleled protection against nature’s harshest weather, which can result in gloss adhesion, chalking, and discoloration when lower-quality surface-coating products are used on exterior structural surfaces.

Key Features of the Kynar 500® PVDF Resin-Based Coating System

Worldwide Recognition

Kynar 500® is the trusted choice for residential, commercial, and industrial cool metal roofing projects across the world. With over 50 years of experience and used on projects around the world, Kynar 500® has proven itself to be a high-quality and trustworthy cool metal roofing and exterior surface product.


Unparalleled Flexibility And Durability

Kynar 500® provides exceptional exterior surface flexibility and durability. Kynar 500® offers a variety of profile options for commercial, residential, and industrial projects and has an impressive performance life of over 25 years.


High Solar Reflectance Index

The overall coolness of a roof is known as the Solar Reflectance Index (SRI). Calculated using the solar reflectance value, thermal emittance value, and wind coefficient, the SRI effectively estimates the surface temperature of a given roofing product.


In general, roofing materials with a higher SRI value are considered the coolest choice for roofing. Kynar 500® consistently achieves a solar reflectance of over 70%. When exposed to severe ultraviolet radiation, Kynar 500® outperformed its competitors over a span of 25 years.


Improved Energy Efficiency

The use of Kynar 500® effectively reduces energy consumption by 40% and effectively demonstrates its ability to improve the urban heat island effect, which impacts urban areas with a high concentration of asphalt and other dark absorbing surfaces that trap and reflect solar energy, resulting in a 6-12 degree temperature increase as compared to rural areas.


Superior Weatherability 

In addition to providing impressive ultraviolet protection, Kynar 500® provides exceptional protection against extreme weather conditions, including excessive heat, precipitation, and pollutants. Additionally, Kynar 500 FSF surface-coating provides outstanding dirt shedding protection and mildew resistance.
