The new Terminal B concourse at the Norman Y.
Mineta San Jose International Airport in California is the first monumental
architectural project constructed with DURANAR® powder coatings by
PPG Industries industrial coatings business.
Duranar powder coatings
are formulated by PPG to provide the same long-term durability as Duranar liquid coatings, but
in an environmentally advanced, ultra-low-VOC powder. They are based on the
same polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) technology as liquid Duranar coatings, which have
protected and beautified buildings for more than 40 years.
Duranar Regal White
powder coatings were applied to a series of curved, perforated metal panels
that arc over the main Terminal B structure. The coating was specified by
Fentress Architects, Denver. Overly Manufacturing, Greensburg, PA, was the
metal panel manufacturer, and Spectrum Metal Finishing, Youngstown, OH, was the
PPG-certified Applicator.
Terminal B covers more than 160,000 square feet and is designed to accommodate
up to 8.5 million passengers a year. The project earned LEED Silver
certification from the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) in September
2010.
