ART WITHIN SURFACES

The Symphony range is the most irreverent, bold, and fiery in the Expression collection.

designed in that era. The Sand range is the most elegant of the Patina® Expression collection.

Symphony

Art Nouveau was a tribute to creativity, to what is different and surprising, to excess in decoration. The use of powerful colours such as yellow, turquoise, and red was very much present in both painting and architecture along with more neutral, metal, and warm tones. Such extravagance combined with elegance is the stylistic feature that inspired the Symphony range, which includes very special shades and finishes.

Technical characteristics of the super-durable powder coatings of the Patina® Expression collection

All powder coatings included in the Patina® Expression collection are based on TGIC-free, saturated polyester resins. Formulated with the Vivendi SDS technology, which guarantees excellent outdoor durability, high gloss retention, and colour stability, these paints meet or exceed the requirements of international specifications for architectural aluminium, such as Qualicoat Class 2, GSB Master, and AAMA 2604. In terms of corrosion resistance, these coatings exceed 1000 hours in salt spray and humidistat chambers, as well as 30 cycles without blistering in Kesternich tests with SO2. The use of the Adapta Rustproof primer is recommended to further increase the corrosion resistance of both aluminium and hot dip galvanised steel. The use of Adapta’s CR-0000 cleaning, removal, and maintenance solution is also highly recommended as part of an effective façade maintenance programme, in line with the cleaning protocol or procedures outlined by Qualicoat and the American Architectural Manufacturers Association.
