15. Maintenance
To keep aluminum architectural components attractive, a
maintenance manual is available upon completion of the project.
The frequency of cleaning will depend on:
- Environment atmosphere and pollution concentration
- The accumulation of debris on the aluminum finish due
to weathering
Cleaning Methods:
Duranar Finishes:
Duranar coatings require very little maintenance. Most surface
residue may be removed using conventional detergents or
solvents. Harsh chemicals or solvents and abrasive materials
must not be used on Duranar coatings. Minor scratches can
be touched up with a specially formulated air-dry flurocarbon
coating system - Duranar A.D. (contact a PPG industrial Product
Sales Office for further information).
Anodized finishes:
Wash with clean warm water; dry with a soft cloth.
Wash with mild soap or detergent and water; scrub with a stiff
bristle brush; rinse and dry.
Apply solvent-type cleaner (kerosene, turpentine); rinse to avoid
streaks and dry.
Use a proprietary polish cleaner as directed by the manufacturer;
rinse to avoid streaks and dry.
Apply a mild abrasive cleaner with a damp cloth (jute is very
effective) or soft brush; rinse with soap and water, then with
clean water.
Note: Before attempting cleaning consult Elemex for a 530 Admiral Drive,
