TRINAR®
TRINAR® for spray application on extruded aluminum shapes and panels is also made in the same exact facilities as our Coil applied product.
This means continuity of color and durability on any project. This system was designed to meet or exceed all requirements of the new AAMA 2605-98 "Voluntary Specification, Performance Requirements and Test Procedures for SUPERIOR PERFORMING ORGANIC COATINGS ON ALUMINUM EXTRUSIONS AND PANELS."
When we say "Superior," we mean just that. TRINAR® is the most durable and long lasting factory applied and oven cured finish for exterior metal substrates known to the construction industry. Why settle for anything less when you are designing a statement as well as a building?
NOTE: Markets and end uses:
Panels, curtainwall, soffit, fascia, mullions, column covers, louvers, door
and entry systems and all other aluminum extruded or pre-fabricated shapes.
In addition to the mandatory 70% PVDF resin content, the remaining 30% is a proprietary acrylic resin from Akzo Nobel research. Heat resistant mixtures of ceramic-grade inorganic pigments provide color to produce superior exterior color weathering characteristic of TRINAR® coatings."Superior" performing TRINAR® coatings are available in a wide array of pre-formulated colors, including pearlescent and metallic finishes, that blend well with collateral construction materials. Special color matched formulations are available from our EXPRESS Match™ color program.

Spray-applied TRINAR®, a 70% Fluoropolymer (PVDF) system is widely used for application on panels, curtainwall, storefronts, louvers, and other exterior aluminum building products. TRINAR® is the only type of technology made for this application that passes the stringent AAMA 2605-98 specification.
TRINAR® can be both spray and coil applied. Unlike the coil process, where a perfectly flat sheet is painted, the intricate profiles of extruded aluminum require spray application. This ensures that the proper thickness of the coating is evenly applied to the channels and recessed areas of the extrusions. The coating is applied only after the metal substrate is properly cleaned and chemically prepared in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. The coating is then applied to the metal and baked. Specifications normally call for a two or three-coat combination that is baked to manufacturer's specified peak metal temperature. Color, gloss, hardness, cure, flexibility, adhesion and other checks are conducted during on-line Quality Control. Akzo Nobel uses an exhaustive approval process before selling TRINAR® to any spray applicators. Certificates of conformance are then issued if the coater's process quality is of the highest standards. Many coaters utilize thermal incineration to destroy almost 100% of the volatile organic compounds (VOC's) used in the spray process.
Test methods are established by ASTM (American Society for Testing and Materials). The most recognized specification is the American Architectural Manufacturers Association "AAMA 2605-98." It is a ten-year specification titled Voluntary Specification, Performance Requirements and Test Procedures for "Superior Performing Organic Coatings on Aluminum Extrusions and Panels".

Spray and coil applied TRINAR®are made with a licensed fluoropolymer resin technology and a proprietary acrylic co-polymer. This resin combination forms the strongest molecular bond in the coatings industry. The PVDF resin is manufactured by two companies; ATO-Fina Chemicals (KYNAR 500®) and Ausimont USA (HYLAR 5000®). Only the finest quality ceramic/ inorganic pigments are used for a wide range of colors and superior color retention in concert with this unique resin combination.
Proper maintenance is vital for any coating to achieve maximum installed life performance. Contact Akzo Nobel and ask for a copy of our "Care and Maintenance" Guide for recommended methods and procedures. Color matched air-dry coatings for post construction touch-up and scratch repair are available for all Akzo Nobel building products finishes through your system fabricator.
For accurate installed costing in-formation, contact the fabricator of the specified painted product or system. Expert information regarding Warranty policies may be provided by contacting Akzo Nobel Coatings Marketing and Sales department.
