Building Renewal™ NeverFade® Exterior Paints
Engineered by APV. Delivered by Pittsburgh Paints.
Field-applied fluoropolymer coating systems engineered for long-term color retention, weatherability, and substrate protection using Kynar Aquatec® PVDF resin technology.
A New Era for NeverFade®
NeverFade® technology, developed by APV Engineered Coatings, is now distributed through Pittsburgh Paints Company as Building Renewal™ NeverFade®. With this partnership, we are expanding access to high-performance fluoropolymer restoration systems backed by national coating expertise and support.
Engineered for a variety of substrates, Building Renewal NeverFade combines advanced PVDF resin chemistry with field applied versatility to deliver exceptional long term performance for residential, commercial, industrial and institutional applications.
Built on Kynar Aquatec® PVDF Technology
Building Renewal NeverFade coating systems are engineered using Kynar Aquatec® PVDF resin technology, a fluoropolymer chemistry recognized for exceptional resistance to UV exposure, weathering, chalking, and color fade.
At the core of the technology is the carbon-fluorine bond, one of the strongest molecular bonds used in architectural coatings. This chemistry helps maintain coating integrity and color performance in harsh environmental conditions, extending the service life of exterior building surfaces.
Unlike conventional coatings that degrade under prolonged UV exposure, NeverFade® fluoropolymer systems are engineered for long-term durability and minimal film erosion while maintaining vibrant, consistent color.
Performance Advantages:
- Exceptional color retention
- Superior UV and weather resistance
- Resistance to chalking and fading
- Low VOC formulation
- Low odor application
- Minimal film erosion
- Mildew-resistant finish
- Broad substrate compatibility
- Field-applied fluoropolymer technology
NeverFade® systems meet SSPC Paint 47 standards for field-applied fluoropolymer topcoats.
