Longboard Finish Classification
Type: Woodgrain / Solid / Metallic /
Speckle / Naturally Aged Metal
Surface: Smooth / Textured
Sheen: Matte / Satin / Glossy
Performance: AAMA 2604 / AAMA 2605
Finish Warranty: 15 Year / 20 Year
Longboard is a certified AAMA 2604 and AAMA 2605 applicator and has adopted the AAMA 2604 performance standard as a minimum threshold for any of its exterior finishes and product offerings.
Our facilities are regularly subjected to inspections and audits to ensure continuous compliance with these performance standards.
These standards measure the coating performance based on a variety of factors including:
- Color uniformity and gloss
- Coating thickness and hardness
- Adhesion of the coating to the metal substrate
- Impact, abrasion and chemical resistance
- Humidity and salt spray corrosion resistance
- Weathering resistance with regards to color and gloss retention, erosion resistance and chalk resistance
As with solvent-based liquid coatings, a wide range of alternative chemistries and application procedures are available to the applicator which enables an optimum match to be achieved between the properties of the powder coating and the performance demands in service.
Significant advancements have been made in powder coating technology and these finishes are both technically and environmentally sustainable alternatives to liquid polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) and fluoroethylene vinyl ether (FEVE) systems. When specifying a powder coating finish for any architectural application it is essential to select the correct type of powder and the correct application procedures to ensure that the optimum performance is obtained.
For many years the architectural community in North America has referenced the AAMA (American Architectural Manufacturer’s Association) standards for the testing and performance of organic coatings on architectural aluminum extrusions and panels. AAMA developed three standards by which architects and designers can identify the differences between finish performance on metals:
- AAMA 2603 – Good performance
- AAMA 2604 – High performance
- AAMA 2605 – Superior performance
| Coating Systems | Performance Standard | Finish Warranty |
|---|---|---|
| Solid Color Finishes - Ultra Durable Polyester Powders | AAMA 2604 | 15 Year Non-prorated |
| Solid Color Finishes - Hyper Durable Fluoropolymer Powders | AAMA 2605 | 20 Year Non-prorated |
| Woodgrain & Speciality Finsihes - Ultra Durable Polyurethane Powders & Sublimation Inks | AAMA 2604 | 15 Year Non-prorated |
| Woodgrain & Speciality Finishes - Hyper Durable Polyurethane Powders & Sublimation inks | AAMA 2605 | 20 Year Non-prorated |
