What is the difference between the paint systems?
Paint systems differ in their durability, colour retention, weather resistance and intended application. Cascadia Metals offers several systems, including PVDF, SMP and Polyester. PVDF provides excellent long-term colour and gloss retention and is commonly specified for demanding architectural applications. SMP offers strong durability and performance for a wide range of building applications, while Polyester is typically used for applications where economical, general-purpose performance is required.
