Overview

Performance Coatings. Bold Architectural Design.

SOL-AR is Protech’s high-performance powder coating line, designed specifically for architectural applications, providing long-term protection with precision tailored for architectural use. These powders are made from 100% fluoropolymer resin, delivering exceptional weathering performance and strong UV protection. SOL-AR powders resist abrasion, corrosion, and marring. Unlike liquid or thermoplastic PVDF alternatives, they do not require a primer.

SOL-AR fluoropolymer powder coatings deliver exceptional durability and long-lasting protection, resisting damage during handling and installation. Ideal for railings, architectural applications, and high-traffic areas. Available in a wide range of colors and gloss levels (5° to 75°), these environmentally responsible coatings are VOC-free and combine superior performance with lasting aesthetic appeal.

The Protech Group warrants that SOL-AR Series powder coatings manufactured by The Protech Group or its authorized licensees will meet or exceed the performance requirements of QUALICOAT Class 3 and AAMA 2605 and will maintain film integrity for a minimum of 30 years, subject to normal levels of fading, gloss reduction, and chalking.
