Painted Finish Considerations of MCM in Today's Architecture

Sponsored by ALPOLIC® Metal Composite Materials

Learning Objectives:

  1. Describe each paint system and explain how a more durable finish can contribute to a lower long-term cost.
  2. Review posted performance criteria of finishes and ascribe those claims to paint finish warranties and environmental claims.
  3. Provide information regarding the types of coatings currently available for aluminum architectural panels.
  4. Explain how the selection of a particular finish can impact on the environment.

There are a variety of coatings currently available for aluminum architectural panels. Understanding the benefits of what each one offers, including the durability and how that finish impacts the environment, to help course takers make an informed decision when specifying these panels. To that end, understanding paint finish warranties and promised performance criteria are essential. This course examines all of these paint finishes to ensure peak performance and customer satisfaction are met.
