Webinar - High-Performance PVDF-Based Waterborne Coatings

Innovative emulsion technology is now being formulated into premium,
field-applied metal restoration coatings, cool white roof coatings for metal
or non-metal surfaces, concrete coatings, stains and varnishes.

___________________________________________________________________

A 60-minute webinar will offer construction specifiers valuable information
on the performance and varied applications of new low VOC, air-dry,
water-based coatings containing next generation Kynarâ PVDF emulsion
technology.

The webinar, produced and hosted by BNP Media Publications, will be held on
Wednesday, June 24, at 2:00 p.m. EDT. Moderated by Tom Watts, Managing
Editor of Roofing Contractor and Architectural Roofing & Waterproofing, the
webinar will feature a 45-minute presentation by Jerry Petersheim, senior
business development engineer for fluoropolymers at Arkema Inc., followed by
a 15-minute question and answer session.

Offering the same extreme weatherablity demonstrated by Kynar 500®-based
coatings in harsh climates, the new emulsions, when applied correctly, last
longer than conventional roof coatings and can be easily applied to a
variety of roofing substrates, including metals, plastics, wood, concrete,
and textiles.

With exceptional resistance to dirt pickup and biological growth when
compared to elastomeric acrylic coatings, the new waterborne technology is
suitable for cool roof applications where color retention is key to
maintaining solar reflectivity. The stain blocking properties of the new
emulsion technology also contribute to color retention when modified bitumen
is used as a roofing substrate.

To learn more about the high-performance benefits delivered by the
PVDF-based waterborne coatings, register for the webinar on-line at
webinar.edcmag.com (under "Sustainable Design" category) or visit the
Arkema website at www.kynaraquatec.com. Following the live broadcast, the
entire webinar will be archived for 12 months at the same BNP Media web site
address for on-demand viewing.
