1. Fluorocarbon spraying or other equivalent practice must be approved by the architect.
2. Aluminum exposed outdoors
a. All exterior visible aluminum surfaces shall be coated with Duranar XL at the factory using a fluorocarbon paint based on Kynar 500 fluorinated polymer resin supplied by PPG or other authorized formulations. The exterior curtain wall subcontractor shall submit written authorization to the owner and architect for review prior to painting to certify that the paint formulation and spraying operation meet the requirements.

d. Aluminum often has a certain length before cutting and processing. The outer curtain wall subcontractor shall use suitable processing equipment to ensure that the cutting edge is in good condition. Cut edges exposed to outdoor conditions should be treated or sealed to prevent their edges from damaging the coating.

d. The painting operation shall be carried out by the painting factory authorized by the formula factory, and the operation shall strictly comply with the technical requirements for cleaning, priming, coating, and quality control. The exterior curtain wall subcontractor shall submit written authorization to the owner and architect for review prior to painting to certify that the paint formulation and spraying operation meet the requirements.
e. Surface finish 1) A4-Duranar (2 paint) or equivalent, dark gray, as approved by the architect sample. 2) A5-Duranar (2 paint) or equivalent, light silver, consistent with architect-approved samples.
4. Surface paint shall at least meet the requirements of AAMA 2605 - "High performance organic coatings for aluminum profiles and panels" non-mandatory specification, performance requirements and test procedures.
5. Surface paint shall at least meet the requirements of AAMA 2603 - "Colored organic coatings for aluminum profiles and panels" non-mandatory specification, performance requirements and test procedures.
6. Surface paint shall at least meet the requirements of AAMA 2604 - "High performance coloring organic coatings for aluminum profiles and panels" non-mandatory specification, performance requirements and test procedures.
7. The color difference of adjacent components with the same surface treatment method should reach a degree that cannot be detected by the naked eye under normal daylight. External curtain wall subcontractors shall submit samples to reflect the range of color differences for inspection by industrial owners, architects and design consultants.
8. The exterior curtain wall subcontractor shall establish and submit a complete quality control system to ensure that the requirements of this technical requirement are met. The quality control system shall contain documented procedures, procedures, tests, etc. The facade subcontractor shall maintain complete records of inspections, tests and procedures, which shall be submitted to the owner, architect and design consultant on a regular basis. No surface treatment shall be carried out until this quality control system has been reviewed and approved by the owner and architect.
9. Materials which have not been inspected and tested according to the standard, or which have a color difference exceeding the standard color difference range, or which have been rejected by the owner or architect shall not be submitted for examination.
10. The on-site repainting of aluminum must obtain the written permission of the owner. On-site paint repair can only use the "natural air drying" method, as follows:
a. The materials and procedures for field repainting must be in strict accordance with the written instructions of the paint manufacturer.
b. Damaged materials determined by the owner or architect must be replaced.
c. The exterior curtain wall subcontractor must test the complete repainting process on the sample and submit it to the owner and builder for approval. Site repainting shall not be carried out until samples are approved by the owner and architect. The production process of aluminum profiles mainly includes melting casting, extrusion and coloring (the color of this project mainly includes: anodizing, fluorine carbon spraying) three processes. 1, casting is the first process of aluminum production.
The main process is:
(1) Ingredients: According to the specific grade that needs to be produced, the amount of various alloy components is calculated, and various raw materials are reasonably matched.
(2) Smelting: the prepared raw materials are added to the melting furnace according to the process requirements, and the impurities and gases in the melt are effectively removed by degassing and slagging refining.
(3) Casting: Molten aluminum is cooled into various specifications of round casting rods through deep well casting system under certain casting process conditions.
