Antique Powders
DuPont® Antique powders are two-toned rolling textured coatings displaying metallic-effect colors in the peaks and solid colors in the valleys. The thick films of 3.0 - 6.0 mils are excellent to hide substrate imperfections, scratches, and chips.
The curing cycle requires rapid heat-up to achieve the proper two-toned, textured appearance. Certain chemicals and solvents attack the metallic pigments, but the base coat remains intact. The same limitations apply to Antique coatings that are applicable to Metallics. Refer to that section for service and application recommendations.
Textured Powders
DuPont® textured powders are highly decorative finishes. The thick films of 2.5 - 4.0 mils are excellent to hide substrate defects. Close control of the film thickness is important for maintaining pattern consistency. DuPont® Textures are available in various standard patterns.
Mini-textures - a low gloss to semi-gloss sandpaper finish Grain textures - a low gloss to semi-gloss more open finish
River textures - a high gloss rolling finish Ridge textures - a medium to high gloss pronounced finish
