AR Iron Powder Coating Division Achieves AAMA Certification

AR Iron has passed the testing set forth by the American Architectural Manufacturers Association (AAMA) to offer AAMA 2604 and AAMA 2605-compliant powder coatings to architects, constructors and building owners.

AR Iron has been named to Tiger Drylac’s list of approved AAMA 2604 and AAMA 2605 coating applicators. The AAMA 2604 coating offers AR Iron’s clients a five-year warranty, and the AAMA 2605 coating provides a 10-year warranty.

“After undergoing stringent quality assurance testing, we are now one of the few companies on the West Coast to achieve this certification,” says Tony Sclafani, general manager at AR Iron. “This further solidifies our commitment to provide the highest quality of products and services to our clientele. Achieving the AAMA certification is another step in the right direction to continue developing our business and becoming a leading applicator in the southern Nevada industry.”

The AAMA certification confirms AR Iron applies quality coatings that meet specific standards. Receiving certification requires the powder-coated samples to undergo extensive testing, including salt spray and humidity chamber tests. These evaluations assess adhesion, gloss and overall powder coating performance, providing insight into reliability and longevity.

In addition to its powder coating options, AR Iron also offers unlimited color options, including topcoats, RALs, textures and veins that are well suited for the Las Vegas environment where AR Iron is located. Powder coatings are composed of dry mixtures with four primary components — binders, pigments and dyes, fillers and additives. These collectively contribute to the coating’s performance and appearance.
