IGP-DURA®sky 95

Durability is a Significant Contribution to Sustainability.

IGP DURA®sky 95 is an ultra-highly weather-resistant powder coating for architectural objects with high requirements for permanently aesthetic surfaces. It is particularly suitable for locations with exceptionally harsh climatic conditions.
This robust system formulated for the highest durability stands up to aggressive UV irradiation, abrasive sandstorms, and salty air in close vicinity to marine environments.

From high-rise towers in UV-intensive environments to corrosive coastal regions and objects where top color and gloss stabilities are required, IGP-DURA®sky 95 ensures reliable protection against climatic, corrosive, and mechanical influences.

Weathering stability

IGP-DURA®sky 95 is a multi-approved, hyper-durable powder coating that meets the high
demands
of both
hemispheres.

Material efficiency

Compared to conventional façade coatings, these powder coatings
offer better efficiency per coated area.

Aesthetics

The elegant matte
surface lies in the gloss range 25 to 35 gloss units and is easy to maintain.

  • «IGP-DURA®sky 9503 exceeds
    the requirements of the AAMA 2605 standards.»

Your benefits for a hyper-durable surface.

Wherever clients demand outstanding resistance from a protective decorative finish, IGP DURA®sky 95 is the ultimate answer for a wide range of applications, whether in architecture, mechanical engineering, appliance construction, or infrastructure.
This coating will ensure the aesthetic appeal of your high-quality objects for many years to come. Besides its outstanding weathering stability, the product group IGP-DURA®sky 9503 offers a number of additional advantages:

  • Weatherability

    IGP-DURA®sky series 95 is a multi-approved, hyper-durable coating powder that meets the toughest demands of both hemispheres. It exceeds the requirements of the world’s leading coating standards AAMA 2605 and QC class 3 for gloss retention and color stability.

    Third-party-verified high chalking and erosion resistances ensure the integrity of architectural design and industrial robustness.

    Even after intensive outdoor irradiation with UA-EMMAQUA® test equipment with an irradiation dose of over 4,200 MJ/sqm, these fluoropolymer coatings retain excellent color and gloss stability. This is equivalent to more than 10 Florida years of UV irradiation.  

  • Material efficiency

    High material yield and recyclability are characteristics of all our product groups. IGP-DURA®sky 9503 is a single-coat system that meets all requirements with no need for an adhesion primer or transparent protection coating. 

    IGP-DURA®sky 9503 is highly electrostatically chargeable. This allows an economic and efficient first-pass transfer with low overspray. The good charging behavior facilitates automatic in-line coating of demanding profile geometries and inside corners without manual pre-coating or follow-up coating.

  • Aesthetic surfaces

    Excellent cleanability and low soiling tendency are key factors for cost-effective maintenance of infrastructure objects and buildings. 

    IGP-DURA®sky 95 is based on stable fluoropolymer and co-polymer complexes and offers dirt-repelling properties which ensure long-lasting aesthetic appeal. Carefully selected pigments offer luminous, durable color stability.  

    The elegant matte surface of IGP-DURA®sky 9503 lies in the gloss range 25 to 35 gloss units.

  • Robust surfaces

    A durable coating must withstand mechanical impacts and be resistant to chemical agents. These factors ensure the lasting value of the finished object even when it is subject to wear and environmental stress.

    The high-performance FEVE-based coating creates a tougher surface than conventional fluoropolymers or thermoplastic PVDFs and provides high resistance to abrasive and mechanical stresses. 

  • Warranty

    IGP-DURA®sky 95 provides guaranteed quality. And you get that in writing. 

    All the links in the value chain combine to even exceed recognized quality standards. Durability is combined with aesthetics and sustainability becomes clearly visible.

    IGP-DURA®sky 9503 powder coatings are incredibly durable, which is why they come with a warranty of up to 25 years.

  • High availability

    High availability even for small quantities and short delivery times are core reasons to choose our products:     

    Benefit from a wide range of solid and effect colors with an elegant, matte gloss, ideal for architectural applications. These in-stock powder coatings are available with short delivery times from a minimum quantity of 5.5 lbs.

  • Anti-Graffiti

    The fluoropolymer system is characterized by chemical resistance against solvent-based anti-graffiti cleaners. Inks and spray paints are easy to remove from the product, which retains its brilliance and gloss after careful cleaning.

  • Sustainability

    Durable is beautiful

    IGP-DURA®sky 95 is free from solvents, heavy metals, and other environmentally harmful substances. All our products are classified and labelled in accordance with the US HCS (Hazard Communication Standard). 
    And that’s not all:

    The fluoropolymer system used by IGP also adheres to chrome-free pretreatments without any adverse effects, which is better for the environment. IGP meets more than 80% of its energy requirements with renewable energies such as hydroelectric and wind power. 

    The Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) for IGP-DURA®sky 9503.gives our partners the documentation they need to meet the requirements of various green building programs such as BREEAM, DGNB, and the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) LEED v4 rating system.   

    Most PVDF coatings achieve limited adhesion on chromium-free pretreatments and therefore require environmentally harmful chromates as a base on the metal substrate. The fluoroethylene system used by IGP adheres to chrome-free pretreatments without any adverse effects, which is better for the environment. 

UA-EMMAQUA®
Durable is beautiful

The ultra-accelerated “UA-EMMAQUA®” natural weathering test method provides realistic data on the weathering stability of surfaces. It tracks the sun while concentrating reflected sunlight on test specimens mounted in a target area. The results can be compared to Florida long-term tests on the basis of empirical values.

The surface tests in the graph below were performed under these conditions.
