AkzoNobel launches self-cleaning exterior coating for buildings
AkzoNobel has launched TRINAR SC Series – a new self-cleaning extrusion coating which uses natural rainfall to help remove dust and stains from exterior walls – in China.
The façade of 16 Man On Street in Hong Kong, coated with TRINAR SC Series coatings.
Developed specifically to support China’s urban renewal, the new coating will address demand in the high-end building market for products capable of protecting buildings that have complex curved surfaces and irregular architectural forms.
The coating features hydrophilic self-cleaning technology and is certified to the international AAMA 2605 weatherability standard.
By reducing the frequency of manual high-rise cleaning procedures, the next generation coating can contribute to lowering operation and maintenance costs across a building’s entire lifecycle. It can also help reduce the amount of water, chemicals and maintenance resources typically associated with cleaning building exteriors.
As the coating offers long-lasting surface protection, it also retains a pristine, like-new façade appearance over time.
Long-term on-site testing of the new coating was carried out at an office building project in Dongying Economic Development Zone. Throughout the trial period, the new product delivered exceptional, consistent self-cleaning performance.
Beyond this pilot project, the system has also been successfully deployed in a range of premium building schemes, including 16 Man On Street in Hong Kong.
The launch will soon be rolled out to more high-end building applications, further strengthening AkzoNobel's portfolio of high-performance architectural coatings designed to support the evolving needs of China's premium construction sector.
