The Right Formulation for All of Your Coating Needs

10000 Series Superior Exterior Performance TGIC Polyester Systems are formulated to meet the requirments of the AAMA 2604 specification. Products in this series have a 60° gloss range of 25-35% and are available in a wide selection of colors. Proper chrome or non-chrome pretreatment is critical for product performance. A chrome conversion coating must be applied at 30 mg/ft2 minimum; the non-chrome applied per supplier's specification. A TCI technical representative must audit each application to insure products will meet the 2604 specification.
