VIDEO MODAL - DISCOVER THE SCIENCE BEHIND FLUROPON CONTINUUM


DISCOVER THE SCIENCE BEHIND FLUROPON CONTINUUM



Duration - 2:8


 * VIEW TRANSCRIPT
   
   Adam Grubb: Building science has traveled to Fort Myers, Florida, to look at
   one of the most unique testing sites in the United States sitting on 6 acres
   of land and housing over 100,000 samples of its product. A small team gathers
   daily data and in one case, has watched their product perform in a real world
   environment for forty eight years. This is the building science of Valspar
   Coil and Extrusion. GFX: BUILDING SCIENCE GFX: Hosted by Adam Grubb GFX:
   valspar Part 1: Innovation Begins on a Test fence Standing back and marveling
   at the sheer beauty of these brightly colored panels, sparkling and changing
   tints in a hot Florida sun, its easy to forget the real purpose of this
   testing and research facility to prove their product stands up to weather,
   exposure and most importantly time. And nobody takes that responsibility more
   seriously than testing site group leader Marlene Garrow. Marlene: There are
   about 100,000 panels out there. Adam: The oldest And you know each one? Yes,
   well, they're like my children. Channing Beaudry We have racks and racks of
   panels where we're doing pigments studies. GFX: Channing Beaudry Technical
   Director, Coil and Extrusion Coatings We're looking at the next generation of
   pigments, we're looking at all the different color spaces we can do to
   understand how were they going to weather, how are they going to hold up in a
   natural environment. GFX: Rick Afton Global Technical Director Coil and
   Extrusion Markets Rick Afton: It never ceases to astound me how they maintain
   their quality, their color, and their look for that period of time in a
   severe environment like, like Florida. Channing: This facility right here is
   really in one of the harsher places that buildings go up. GFX: Valspar's Test
   fence is the most accredited manufacturer's test facility in the coil
   coatings industry Adam: So this is the world famous 1968 row. Marlene: The
   first two rows have been out here since May of 1968. Adam: So they've been
   hit by the sun, by wind, and rain, Marlene: hurricanes Adam: hurricanes salt.
   Marlene: Yes, they withstand it all. Channing: You see these panels here are
   45 degrees south facing. That's a standard that will give you the most direct
   sun exposure. We have some that are vertical. The vertical ones are similar
   to sidewalls of buildings or building curtains. And see how the product
   perform in that environment. GFX: Jeff Alexander Vice President of Sales
   North American Coil & Extrusion Jeff Alexander: Some of these panels you know
   were put together for our customers and some of these customers come back and
   look at the specific panels more than a couple of times a year. Channing:
   We've learned a tremendous amount of how pigments, the resins and polymers
   affect our coatings. And we're continuing to learn more every day that's why
   it's fun coming back out to this site. We looked through all the different
   panels and we're able to make assessments on what that next generation of
   product is going to look like. Jeff Alexander: Our products have pretty long
   warranties and it's important to have confidence behind the chemistry that's
   in those. And the only way to really, really know is to put it out on
   exposure and wait. Channing: If a customer comes to us and asks for something
   new or different, or if we decide this is something the market would be
   interested in, we've got so much data here that we can pull from. We don't
   have to wait 10 or 20 years. We've already collected that data. We know ahead
   of time what the risk is and what raw materials can we combine together to
   give us this end performance. So it really cuts down the cycle time of new
   development products. Adam: These are the 1970s panels. Marlene: Yes. Adam So
   most these panels does this, does this bother here? Marlene: No. Adam: Does
   that bother you? Marlene: No. Adam: Why not? Marlene: Because they're our
   competitors. Adam: Ok, so that's good news then. Channing: When we see
   failures, we want to understand what's happening. What's the chemistry behind
   that failure. Is it the pigment breaking down, is it the resin? I think it
   would be a challenge. I mean, I think when you dig into anything like of
   paint or coating it seems so easy. People walk into a Lowe's and they see
   paint and that's mixed up and it's all that simple. You don't look at the all
   the panels out here and the years of development to make sure that that's
   going to last as long as it should. Adam: From the oldest color sample on the
   test fence being secured when Lyndon Johnson was president, to the latest
   that was hung yesterday. The reason for the testing has not changed. Proving
   a product's value in the marketplace. The science behind Valspar's product
   doesn't stop at the research equipment either, but continues to the sales
   teams, engineers, and the global technical team that is responsible for not
   only creating new products, but ensuring the durability of their current
   ones. And we meet all of them next. For Building Science, I'm Adam Grubb.
