Kroma Finishing is making the following Limited warranty to project  _____________________  ,  concerning   the paint specification on aluminum products for Specification _______________________________________________________ Color and sheen to match:__________________________________________________________________________________

10 YEAR LIMITED WARRANTY DURANAR

Thank you for purchasing Duranar.  We are pleased to present you with PPG’s ten (10) year Limited Warranty.

The warranty period for each of these limited warranties starts on the first date of paint application, __________. PPG warrants that for ten (10) years after the Effective Date, the factory applied finish supplied by PPG and applied by Kroma Finishing:

a)  Will not chip, crack or peel (lose adhesion) but this does not include minute fracturing which may occur in proper fabrication of building parts.

b)  Will not chalk in excess of ASTM D-4214 number eight (8) rating, determined by the procedure outlines in ASTM D-4214 specification test.

c) Will not change color more than five (5) Delta-E Hunter units (square root of the sum of square Delta L, Delta a, and Delta b) as determined by ASTM method D-2244 method 6.3. It is acknowledged by Customer that fading or color changes may not be uniform if the surfaces are not equally exposed to the sun and elements.

In this Limited Warranty mica and metallic coatings are exempt from item C due to the inability to accurately measure color; mica and metallic flakes reflect and scatter light in random patterns.

Exotic colors will receive a full ten (10) year warranty if they have the PPG recommended clear coat applied.

For the first seven (7) years after the Effective Date, t h e Kroma Finishing Limited Warranty will apply where the failure is caused by the application of the Duranar products over improper pretreatment (that is in situations where the coating was not applied i n accordance with ASTM D 1 730, Type B, Method 5 and/or ASTM B 449 Section 5). This excludes failures that may result from Faraday Cage Effects that are inherent in the design of the product being coated.

If you believe that the Duranar products you purchased fail to comply with either PPG's or Kroma Finishing’s Limited Warranty, the company whose Limited Warranty has been breached in that company's opinion will pay for labor and material for repainting, or repairing the part showing the failure.  In the event that both PPG's and Kroma Finishing. Limited Warranties are breached in their opinions the companies will be jointly responsible for performing corrective work. But in either case, you must notify Kroma Finishing of the alleged failure in writing within thirty (30) days after your discovery of the alleged defect, otherwise the warranty is void as to that claim.  Upon receipt of your written notice of claim, Kroma Finishing will determine the exact cause of the failure using ASTM, AAMA and NCCA testing procedures as specifically as possible.  Your cooperation and assistance will be necessary to make these determinations. Should Kroma Finishing determine, at its sole discretion, that the Duranar products failed and that the terms of this Limited Warranty apply, Kroma Finishing will repair, or replace the part, at its sole discretion.  If Kroma Finishing repaints, it will use standard painting practices, but will not necessarily use Duranar products. Kroma Finishing reserves the right to approve any contract between customer and any third party for the purpose of correcting the defective product. This Limited Warranty only applies to the part refinished, repaired, reclad, or replaced for the unexpired portion of the Warranty period.

Neither PPG's nor Kroma Finishing’s Limited Warranty applies when the failure is caused by things that we don't control.   Such intervening events or circumstances include, but are not limited to the following:

•	Acts of nature;
•	Fire, floods or other casualty or physical damage;

•	Corrosive atmosphere found in the interior of buildings, which affect the interior surface of material;
•	Standing or ponding water on the metal;
•	Excessive building movements;

•	Previously painted material unless it has been stripped to bare aluminum by Kroma Finishing;
•	Material which is used outside the continental U.S., unless expressly approved  in writing by Kroma Finishing;
•	Corrosion of the metal substrate;
•	Finish deterioration originating from unpainted or exposed metal, such as unfinished saw cuts, unfinished joinery edges, punches, weep holes, or drill holes;  Incompatibility between materials, including, but not limited to, galvanic corrosion due to contact with adjacent dissimilar  metals such as stainless steel, etc.;
•	Damage to the painted metal occasioned by moisture or other contamination detrimental to the finish because of improper storage of the finished metal prior to installation as outlined in AAMA Publication 10, "Care and Handling of Architectural Aluminum From Shop to Site.
