AAMA 2603 Powder Coating

AAMA 2603 powder coating is the basic standard for use in interior applications or mild environmental conditions with limited exposure to harsh weather elements. This is the lowest AAMA powder-coating standard.

AAMA 2604 Powder Coating

AAMA 2604 powder coatings are designed for projects exposed to moderate weather conditions. They offer excellent resistance to abrasion, fading, and general wear, making them ideal for residential, multifamily and light commercial applications. AAMA 2604 is especially ideal for use on aluminum railings, trims, and decorative panels in applications away from direct sea-spray exposure. This coating also suits interior features like stair railings and partitions in high-traffic spaces. Available in a variety of finishes, AAMA 2604 complements both traditional and modern design styles, ensuring durability and visual appeal for years.

AAMA 2605 Powder Coating

AAMA 2605 powder coatings provide the highest level of protection for architectural projects facing extreme weather conditions or high UV exposure. Engineered to resist fading, chalking, and corrosion, this coating is ideal for coastal regions, large commercial buildings, and public infrastructure. It is the top choice for outdoor applications requiring long-lasting durability in challenging environments. AAMA 2605 ensures that architectural elements, such as your balcony rails and posts, maintain their structural integrity and appearance, even in the harshest climates.
