PVDF Coated ACP
KYNAR500-based fluorocarbon coating baked 2–3 times for a 25 μm+ film. The standard choice for exterior wall cladding.
Product Overview
PVDF Coated ACP At A Glance
PVDF coated ACP is the panel most exterior facades are built from. The fluorocarbon resin — a KYNAR500-based system — is applied over a chemically converted aluminum skin and baked two to three times to build a film of 25 μm or more. That film is what keeps a facade looking the same in year eighteen as it did in year one.
We coat, laminate and pack the panel on our own three lines in Jiangyin, so the coil, the coating schedule and the lamination record all sit under one roof and one batch number.
Key Benefits
Why Buyers Choose This Panel
01
15–20 years without abnormal fading
Acid and alkali resistant, with 3000 h salt spray at grade 1 and 4000 h accelerated weathering at a measured color difference of 1.24.
02
A film you can measure
Specified at ≥ 25 μm and typically measured between 27 and 30 μm, verified per batch.
03
36+ colors held in stock
Standard colors ship in 7 days from deposit; custom matching runs about 15 days from color approval.
04
Bonded, not just painted
Chemosynthesis pre-treatment forms a dense oxide film so the coating is mechanically keyed to the metal.
Application Scenarios
Where It Is Used
Building facades and curtain walls
The default exterior specification for low, mid and high-rise elevations.
Column covers, canopies and soffits
Routed and folded on site tooling, in the same color as the main elevation.
Refurbishment over existing structures
Light enough to hang on a retrofit substructure without reworking the frame.
Long-life outdoor signage
Where a sign is expected to outlive a normal sign cycle.
Who It Is For
- Facade and curtain-wall contractors
- Architects and specifiers writing exterior cladding
- Building-material importers and distributors
- Developers buying direct for a single project
Problems It Solves
- Chalking and colour shiftStandard polyester on an exterior wall starts to chalk after five to seven years. Fluorocarbon resin is the reason PVDF is written into most exterior specifications.
- Patch repairs that never matchColour is held against a signed master sample so a replacement panel ordered later still matches the wall.
- Coating thickness quoted but not deliveredFilm build is measured per batch and reported, not assumed.

Use Guide
How To Specify And Order
- Confirm the coating before the colourDecide PVDF, FEVE or PE first — the colour library differs slightly between systems.
- Send the elevation, not only the areaPanel sizes cut from the elevation reduce offcut waste and often reduce the order.
- Approve a signed sampleA signed master sample fixes the colour for the whole project, including later phases.
- Keep the protective film on until installedRemove it within the period stated on the film to avoid adhesive residue.
FAQ
PVDF Coated ACP FAQ
What warranty comes with PVDF coated ACP?
Standard PVDF exterior warranty is 15–20 years depending on colour and climate, covering abnormal fading, chalking, peeling and delamination under normal use. Project-specific terms are negotiable for orders above 5,000 m².
How thick is the coating?
The specification is ≥ 25 μm. Measured film thickness on our test sample was 27–30 μm, applied in two to three passes and cured in a four-zone oven.
What is the minimum order?
500 m² per colour for stocked standard colours. Fully custom colours start at 1,000 m² because a dedicated coil run has to be scheduled.
How fast can you ship?
Stocked standard colours ship 7 days from deposit. Custom colours are typically 15 days after colour approval. A full container with custom colour plus a core upgrade can run 18–25 days.
