Super Durable Finish (SDF) Powder Coating
In the UAE’s extreme climate, standard polyester coatings often fade, chalk, or lose gloss too quickly. Rainbow Powder Coating is among the few certified facilities in the UAE offering Super Durable Finish (SDF) Powder Coatings, engineered to deliver up to three times the lifespan of conventional polyester coatings.
SDF coatings are formulated with premium-grade polyester resins that provide exceptional resistance to UV exposure, sand abrasion, and handling strain. This makes them the perfect solution for architectural aluminum, facades, and outdoor applications where durability and long-term color stability are critical.
Key Benefits of SDF Powder Coating
UV Stability - Maintains color vibrancy and gloss in intense sunlight
Superior Abrasion Resistance – Protects against sand, dust, and physical wear
Extended Life Expectancy – Proven to last up to 3x longer than regular polyester coatings
Design Flexibility – Available in smooth, textured, matte, semi-gloss, and high-gloss finishes
Special Effects – Custom metallics and decorative finishes available for large-quantity projects
Eco-Friendly Process – Solvent-free, low-waste coating system aligned with sustainable practices
Application
SDF coatings are recommended for:
Architectural Facades – exterior walls, cladding, and curtain walls
High-Traffic Elements – gates, railings, handrails, and outdoor furniture
Coastal & Desert Environments – areas exposed to salt spray, humidity, and sandstorms
Commercial & Premium Projects – malls, hotels, resorts, and landmark buildings
