Strength you can see. Protection you can trust.
The PVDF Storm Armor Paint System by Quality Metals delivers premium performance and unmatched durability for architectural and commercial metal applications. Developed with advanced 70% PVDF fluoropolymer technology, this coating system provides superior protection against fading, chalking, and corrosion — even in the most extreme weather environments.
PVDF stands for Polyvinylidene Fluoride, a high-performance fluoropolymer resin known for its exceptional resistance to UV rays, humidity, and chemical exposure. Used in high-end coatings like Kynar 500® and Hylar 5000®, PVDF sets the global standard for long-term color and gloss retention in architectural metals.
A 70% PVDF system contains 70% pure PVDF resin, meeting the rigorous requirements of AAMA 2605, the industry’s highest specification for exterior architectural coatings.
Storm Armor — Powered by DuraCoat 70™
Each coil coated with Storm Armor undergoes a multi-stage Axalta DuraCoat 70™ process, ensuring exceptional film adhesion, flexibility, and UV stability. This process creates a coating that can endure intense sunlight, salt spray, and industrial pollutants — maintaining its finish and color integrity for decades.
The DuraCoat 70™ PVDF system, exclusively supplied by Axalta, reinforces the Storm Armor performance standard without overshadowing its distinctive technology — delivering a balance of color consistency, strength, and long-term protection.
