Linetec Offers Paint Coatings in 30,000 Colors for Architectural Metal Products' High-Touch Surfaces
Linetec provides architectural coatings with Microban technology in nearly any imaginable color with antimicrobial protection exceeding other conventional finishes on metal building products' surfaces. Coupled with regularly scheduled cleanings, antimicrobial-based coatings create an inhospitable environment for microbial growth by damaging the microbes' cell walls.
Linetec's antimicrobial coatings can be specified for high-touch, architectural aluminum products' exterior and interior surfaces, such as handrails, doors, windows, curtainwall, entranceways, light shelves, wall panels and column covers. Antimicrobial protection can be especially important for high-traffic public buildings including health care facilities, educational campuses, apartment buildings and senior living facilities.
Providing this extra level of caution, Linetec relies on a liquid fluoropolymer finish containing 70% PVDF resin-based architectural coatings with antimicrobial protection. This three-coat system meets requirements of AAMA 2605, the most stringent specification for architectural coatings. The antimicrobial coatings are applied in Linetec's facility under precise, quality-controlled conditions. The resulting coated aluminum product offers a durable, nonporous surface that is easy to keep clean with minimal maintenance.
