Flourine Chemistry​

High humidity and corrosive conditions of coastline, marine, and airport environments produce salty atmosphere that permeate coating layers to accelerate galvanic reactions at the interface. This results in catastrophic and expensive failure that manifests as delamination, chalking, and equipment failure. The architectural construction industry has long recognized this problem. Current coating technologies have some performance limitations. Pearlhill Technologies has innovated fluorinated powder coatings that can self-sense the early stages of aluminum and stainless steel metal corrosion, and then selfheal by electrolytic interface protection (EIP) mechanism. These new powder coatings effectively suppress aluminum and stainless steel corrosion far more effectively as AAMA 2605 specification of ten years in Florida. Qualicoat Class 3 has requirement for 10 years coastal protection. Our products are especially effective at coastline, marine, and airports environments. The American Architectural Manufacturers Association (AAMA) Specification 2605, the gold standard of the architectural coatings industry does not adequately address the performance requirements of humid and corrosive coastline environments. Aluminum- and stainless steel alloys, which are most widely used for construction in these regions, are susceptible to corrosion and degradation in these environments.
