Sun Windows - Press Release

April 12, 2010

Sun Windows, Inc. is proud to announce the implementation of an in-house Powder Coating Facility. This system will allow Sun to greatly improve the quality and time required for all custom exterior colors orders, while also allowing Sun to significantly expand all exterior color options on its Sun Clad products.

Sun has partnered with AkzoNobel, the worlds largest paint and coatings company, and their Interpon® Powder Coatings products to provide the highest quality exterior coatings system available. Both AAMA 2604 and 2605 standards will be available to meet the requirements of a wide range of building projects.

Powder coatings offer a hard finish which is tougher than conventional paint. Powder coated surfaces are resistant to chipping, cracking, peeling and fading. Powder coatings contain no solvents and release virtually no VOC’s into the atmosphere. They are recommended by the EPA as contributing to the Green Building Initiative of the U. S. Government. Sun’s Powder Coating application process is an Eco-premium solution with chrome-free pretreatment and an ultra durable topcoat.

The Green aspects of Powder Coatings further enhances Sun’s Green Window Initiative and our commitment to sustainable and environmentally friendly products and technology. In addition to the fact that there are no VOC’s in powder coatings, there are no heavy metals such as lead or chromium. There is almost no waste as over spray can be reclaimed and recycled or reprocessed. The durable protection provided by powder coatings reduces the need for replacement products or coatings. Many of the powders have a lower ecological footprint than competing products.

Final implementation of the Powder Coatings system should take place early this week, with actual product production by the end of the week. More information on this system and the many options it provides will soon be available on the Sun Windows website at www.sunwindows.com.
