PPGI vs PVDF — Material Science
Understanding the differences between our coating systems helps you select the right protection for your project.
UV Resistance
PPGI
Good colour retention for 15-20 years under normal UV exposure.
PVDF
Exceptional UV stability — 70% PVDF resin formulation resists fading for 40+ years, even in high-altitude and equatorial installations.
Corrosion Protection
PPGI
Hot-dip galvanized steel substrate with polyester topcoat provides reliable corrosion resistance for standard environments.
PVDF
Superior barrier against salt spray, industrial pollutants, and acid rain. Ideal for coastal BC installations.
Weatherability
PPGI
Performs well in moderate climates with standard exposure to rain, snow, and wind.
PVDF
Engineered for extreme weather — withstands heavy coastal winds, freeze-thaw cycling, and sustained moisture exposure.
Thermal Performance
PPGI
Standard thermal reflectivity suitable for most residential and commercial applications.
PVDF
Enhanced solar reflectance options available, reducing cooling loads and supporting green building certifications.
Gauge Guide
Selecting the right gauge depends on your application, span requirements, and structural loads. Here is an overview of our available options.
Heaviest available option for maximum structural performance. Ideal for large-span industrial roofing and heavy-duty wall cladding.
Relative thickness
The professional contractor's choice for commercial buildings. Excellent balance of strength, workability, and cost.
Relative thickness
The most popular gauge for residential roofing and siding. Easy to handle, cut, and install while providing reliable structural performance.
Relative thickness
Lightweight and cost-effective for agricultural buildings, outbuildings, and economy projects where budget is the primary concern.
