United States. With the new white paper published by PPG Industries, architects, specifiers, consultants and building owners will be able to evaluate and compare the warranties offered by suppliers of extrusion coatings of architectural coatings.Henry L. Lowman, global director of PPG extrusion coatings, explains that this document helps construction professionals understand the underlying issues of warranties so they can protect the investment made in coatings.
Lowman adds that because the metal coating industry is constantly evolving, there are many suppliers in different parts of the world, so there are different types of warranties, so the White Paper will help people who buy layers of metal to ask the right questions and negotiate the terms of the warranty, so that they do not commit to a purchase that can be worth millions.
The whitepaper not only examines warranty conditions, but also discusses the details of performance variables, such as film integrity to interperie and corrosion resistance, referring to industry standard specifications from the Architectural Manufacturers Association of America (AAMA) and Qualicoat.
