June 21, 2008 – Vol.13 No.13 Valspar Introduces First Enhanced Solar Reflective, Energy Saving Coating for Extrusions and Wall Panels in the Green Building Market. The spray-applied, factory cured paint coating, Flurospar(R) SR,developed for the aluminum extrusion and wall panel market reduces the amount of energy used to cool buildings without limiting color choice. According to the US Green Building Council, buildings consume 70 percent of US electricity and are responsible for 39 percent of US CO2 emissions. Coating aluminum windows, curtain walls, shutters, awnings, louvers, wall panels and other building components with Flurospar SR coatings reduces surface temperature, resulting in cooler internal building temperatures. The product is formulated with solar reflective (SR) pigments that keep building components cooler than bare aluminum, anodized aluminum, and comparable paint colors. Aluminum coated with Valspar extrusion finishes is 100 percent recyclable. Approximately 1/3 of the aluminum used in the US comes from recycled material.
Flurospar SR finishes are available in a wide variety of colors including white, black, green, blue, brown and red. Pearlescent effects are also available. The Valspar Corporation, founded in 1806, is a global leader in the paint and coatings industry. (6/19/08)
