Background
Kynar 500® FSFׂ® PVDF resin is a high molecular weight homopolymer of vinylidene fluoride.  Finishes based on Kynar 500® FSF® PVDF resin are formulated by Kynar 500® FSF®trademark licensees and contain, in addition to Kynar 500® FSF® PVDF resin, solvents and high quality pigments.  According to the licensing agreement, a minimum of 70% by weight of Kynar 500® FSF® PVDF resin is required.  These high quality coating systems have a proven history when exposed to severe ultraviolet radiation for extended periods (over 25 years) of time.  To insure the formulation being supplied contains Kynar 500® FSF ® PVDF manufactured by Arkema Inc. and that the coating is manufactured free of fluorosurfactants, validation from the licensee is recommended.
