The First PVDF Applicator in Egypt
Alico Egypt is approved as a certified Applicator for PVDF coating by the Valspar Corporation USA.

As we move into an era of greater environmental awareness and regulation, it is becoming more and more essential to specify an environmentally friendly coating. When we use a Fluropon system, you can be sure your building is protected with a coating, which meets the most stringent performance standard available today.

Using these proven high performance coatings not only ensures you get the best from the start, but also assures a long coating life without environmentally detrimental and costly field repair in the future.

Fluropon is the first choice for use on monumental and high-rise structures including aluminum curtain wall, panels, louvers and grilles, column covers, skylights, brake shapes and extrusion components.

As time pushes us forward to the return of a new century, a momentous psychological event, we reach backward to draw on the emotional resources of heritage. Modern conveniences continue to accelerate the pace of our lives yet the economy remains sluggish. Because of these reasons a conservative, traditional and time – honored color palette continue to gain in popularity.



 


The Fluropon paint system should be used when superior resistance to color fading and chalking is essential.


Factory applied and oven cured, Fluropon is a full strength (Kynar 500 Or Hylar 5000) resin based paint coating.It is available in a wide range of earth tone colors.


Fluropon is unsurpassed in its resistance to the damaging UV rays of the sun. That means the Fluropon paint system offers long life & good looks regardless of your project location.


It is a two-coat system, meaning the system consists of a primer and a color coat.
Earth tones are the most popular color range offered in this paint system.
Sparkle in paint system is achieved by the use of Pearle scent mica flakes. Clear topcoat is not required ,Super Fluroclear may be used on 70% PVDF coatings.


Fluropon is resistant to general air pollution and will not whiten or pit when exposed to moist environments.
This includes moisture in the form of rain, dew, fog, salt air, acid rain and chlorinated airs as found in an atrium over a swimming pool.
 Fluropon meets AAMA2605 and ASCA 96 specifications.
