Fluorocarbon aluminum veneer and polyester aluminum veneer are two common aluminum veneer materials in the current market, and they have certain differences in appearance, performance, and other aspects. The difference between these two materials will be explained in detail below.
1、 In terms of appearance
After being treated with fluorocarbon coating, the surface of fluorocarbon aluminum veneer presents a unique matte texture with rich and colorful colors, which can present different textures and effects. Polyester aluminum veneer is a relatively smooth surface treatment method with a single color, usually only available in simple colors such as white or gray.
2、 In terms of durability
Fluorocarbon aluminum veneer has good durability and corrosion resistance, which can resist the erosion of corrosive substances such as acid rain and salt spray, and maintain the color and glossiness of the aluminum veneer surface. In contrast, polyester aluminum veneer has relatively poor durability and corrosion resistance, and is easily affected by these corrosive substances, leading to problems such as oxidation and fading on the surface of the aluminum veneer.
3、 In terms of fire resistance performance
Fluorocarbon aluminum veneer has good fire resistance and can effectively prevent the spread of fire. Polyester aluminum veneer has poor fire resistance, and once a fire occurs, it may accelerate the spread of the fire.
4、 In terms of environmental friendliness
Fluorocarbon coating is an environmentally friendly coating that does not contain harmful substances and volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and is harmless to human health and the environment. Polyester coatings contain some harmful substances, such as heavy metals like chromium and lead, which pose potential hazards to human health and the environment. From an environmental perspective, fluorocarbon aluminum veneer is more suitable for use.
5、 In terms of price
Due to the higher price of fluorocarbon coatings, the price of fluorocarbon aluminum veneer is relatively higher than that of polyester aluminum veneer. However, considering the better performance and longer service life of fluorocarbon aluminum veneer, its price is also more cost-effective.
Fluorocarbon aluminum veneer and polyester aluminum veneer have certain differences in appearance, durability, fire resistance, environmental protection, and other aspects. When choosing aluminum veneer, comprehensive consideration should be given based on actual needs, including budget, usage scenarios, decorative effects, and other factors. If you need better durability, fire resistance, and environmental friendliness, you can choose fluorocarbon aluminum veneer; If you are more sensitive to price, you can choose polyester aluminum veneer.
