Architectural low-VOC coatings can be formulated with dibenzoate glycol esters to have increased hardness, block resistance, gloss and scrub resistance.
Valflon was the ideal coating choice for this specific project, as it is known to retain its color for many years, as well as resist harsh weather elements, airborne chemicals and acid. It combines high gloss and bold colors, keeping the university’s cohesive look both stable and stunning.
The coatings used for this project provide exceptional protection against dirt and stains, and are designed to resist chalking and fading. Additionally, the exterior insulated metal panels offer energy savings to the new academic building through their superior thermal efficiency.

Without the existence of specialized rods and cones inside the human eye, the world around us would be a much duller place. Without color, a key component of our visible experience would be lost and entire industries would be flushed away or dramatically altered, including interior and graphic design, clothing retail, advertising and especially the manufacturing of paints and coatings.
