AK-SPECTRA™
AK Steel AK-SPECTRA™ Stainless Steel consists of a uoropolymer paint system applied
to a clean, pretreated and primed stainless steel coil. The uoropolymer top coat is a
DURANAR® high performance coating designed for architectural coil coating applications.
The coating features excellent color retention and chalk, corrosion, chemical and pollution
resistance as well as good exibility and adhesion. AK-SPECTRA is available in a wide
range of colors for use in metal roofing, mansard roofs,fascias, soffits and specialty
accent applications.
