TIPAQUE® PFC105
Enabling Long-Term Appearance Retention in Exterior Coatings
A super durable titanium dioxide designed to suppress photocatalytic degradation and extend coating lifetime.
MARKET CHALLENGES
Exterior Coatings Face Increasing Durability Demands
- Longer warranty requirements (e.g. AAMA 2605)
- Higher UV exposure and harsher environments
- Demand for long-term gloss and color retention
- Reduced repainting and maintenance cycles
Exterior coatings are expected to maintain appearance longer than ever before.
WHY PFC105 FOR LONG DURABILITY

PFC105 can eliminate color fading issue even in organic colorants.
* PVDF/Acrylic = 20/80
WHY PFC105 DELIVERS SUPERIOR WEATHERABILITY
Through ISK’s proprietary multi-layer surface treatment technology, PFC105 strongly suppresses photocatalytic activity, reducing resin degradation around TiO₂ particles.
Conventional TiO₂
Uneven and thinner layer allows TiO₂ to get in contact with air triggering photocatalytic activity
PFC105- Super Durable TiO₂
ISK’s proprietary surface treatment leaving thick and even surface layer of SiO₂ and not allowing TiO₂ to get in contact with air
Why Test Method Selection Matters
Conventional weathering tests such as QUV and XWOM primarily assess resin durability and may not fully capture performance differences related to TiO₂ photocatalytic activity. Because PFC105 is designed to suppress this mechanism, its true benefit is best evaluated using test methods that specifically target TiO₂-driven degradation.
