The POLYDURE®1000 coating system is formulated from proprietary low cost polyester resin technology. It is designed to contribute color and help protect metal coils that are later fabricated into a variety of prefabricated metal construction and door products. Years of continuous research and actual outdoor testing have guided our ability to produce POLYDURE®1000 in a wide array of colors that blend well with collateral construction materials.
POLYDURE®1000 coatings are intended to be factory applied, to metal substrates according to Akzo Nobel Product Data Sheets, over primer, by the coil coating method only. This process efficiently and economically applies primer and POLYDURE®1000 colors according to exact film thickness specifications across the entire panel width. In this process, coatings are applied to specified metal substrates that have been thoroughly cleaned and chemically pretreated in accordance with manufacturer's instructions to optimize adhesion, forming and weathering. POLYDURE®1000 coatings and primer must be baked and cured in factory ovens at temperatures ranging from 400°-480°F. Color, gloss, hardness, cure, flexibility and adhesion are only a few of the performance characteristics monitored in the quality control process. The coil coating process is highly efficient with nearly 100% transfer efficiency to the metal coils. This process collects and destroys almost all volatile organic content (VOC's) usually associated to any painting process.
Test methods established by ASTM (American Society for Testing and Materials).

POLYDURE®1000 colors are made from high quality weather resistant pigments in a wide range of colors. ISO 9001 certified Akzo Nobel manufacturing methods used in our Columbus, Ohio headquarters facility, uniformly distribute pigments into a proprietary polyester resin that has proven, under years of harsh 45° South Florida exposure, to resist changes in color and general appearance, and to preserve film integrity and coating properties.
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. Colormatched air-dry coatings for post construction touch-up and scratch repair, as mentioned in the "Care and Maintenance Guide," are available for POLYDURE®1000 coatings through your prepainted metal products fabricator.
Contact your panel system fabricator for accurate installed cost estimates. Coating system performance warranties are available. Contact Akzo Nobel Coatings Marketing and Sales department or your panel system supplier.
Contact Akzo Nobel for specific primer and backer recommendations.
