Using Vitreflon 700 as a protective coating over printing inks now gives architects and asset owners a whole new world of choice when it comes to designing striking and visually appealing facades. Vitreflon 700 is a versatile product which can be supplied in a range of gloss levels, and in an unlimited colour range. Vitreflon coatings, when used as a solid colour, carry a 15 year warranty against fading, chalking and discolouration and when used to protect UV printing ink can be expected to prevent colour change in the ink for over 15 years.
In collaboration with Vitragroup (add link to Vitragroup name: Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital – VitraGroup), these striking graphic façade panels were manufactured as the external cladding for the Pathwest Laboratory Collection Facility in Bunbury, WA. The building and graphic artwork were designed by JCY Architects, with the panels manufactured by Vitragroup at their Sydney facility. A&I Coatings was proud to supply the protective clear coat for this unique project. Vitreflon® 700 Clear Satin is a two-pack FEVE fluoropolymer clear coat that significantly enhances the colour retention and durability of UV-printed artwork. Applied as a protective topcoat, it helps ensure the vibrant façade remains protected from the elements and looking exceptional for decades. With virtually unlimited print possibilities available through modern façade printing technology, A&I Coatings’ premium FEVE topcoats provide the long-term performance needed to keep architectural designs looking as impressive in 20 years as they do today.
