• Efficient Application: When applying Vantage Texture powder, about 90% of what’s sprayed adheres to the metal surface. The remaining powder can be collected, filtered and reused
• Elimination of Hazardous Substances: Vantage Texture finishes do not require hazardous air pollutants (HAPs)
• Enhanced Durability: Vantage Texture-finished surfaces are highly durable, reducing the need for frequent repair and fewer resources required over time
• TGIC Free: Eliminating the risk of TGIC related adverse health effects
• Lightweight Materials: Vantage Texture adds no significant weight to the substrate contributing to energy-efficient designs
• Promotes Sustainability: Vantage Texture-finished products are more sustainable due to their durability, reducing the demand for new raw material
