We are excited to introduce a new paint technology!  PRO10XL is an industry-leading 2604 aluminum paint that features reduced color deviation, extended gloss retention, and a ten-year warranty.  

Available exclusively from Profile Extrusion Company, PRO10XL is a proprietary polyester resin that provides extra protection from acid rain and corrosive environments. It is made with premium exterior grade pigmentation to provide color stability and resistance to chalking and fading. We’ve launched an interactive color tool to allow you to compare the industry standard deviation with that of PRO10XL paint for any color you choose.  There, you can also see the results of our 500 and 1,000 UV Exposure testing where Pro10XL outperforms both the standard 2604 paint as well as powder coating.

The exterior weathering performance makes PRO10XL a cost-effective coating for commercial and monumental applications. It is ideal for use on curtain walls, window frames, store fronts, fascia, trim railings and other similar aluminum extrusions.

AAMA specifications for 2604 paint are categorized by performance and generally include a 5-year warranty. Without adding additional cost from the industry standard, PRO10XL offers a 10-year warranty.  The paint will not only resist chips, cracks, and peeling, but is warranteed for color retention and consistency at less than 5 ΔE deviation for 5 years and 7 ΔE for 10 years, an improvement over the industry standard.

“PRO10XL will allow our customers to differentiate themselves from their competitors and offer their own customers a superior finished product with longer life,” says Profile General Manager David Newby.

A special resin technology in PRO10XL series products provides extra stain resistance and prevents dirt pick-up. The top hardness of the coating prevents marring and scratching during transit and asemble to reduce scrap and field touch-up. This hardness also prevents chipping during cutting, drilling, and hole-punching.

PRO10XL is available in low to high gloss finishes. A custom internal intermix system provides fast response to special customer needs. Mica and aluminum-based metallics provide unique finishes without the need for a clear overcoat.

We are proud to announce that Profile Extrusion has successfully completed four years of operations without a lost time accident. This is an amazing achievement that did not just happen on its own. Each of our employees contributed to this success by making the commitment to working safely. “To my knowledge, this is only the second time that the Rome facility has met such a goal,” says David Newby, General Manager of the Rome Plant.

Not only is this great news for our employees, it is an amazing accomplishment that also saves our clients money. Lost time accidents add extra costs to both the facility and the customer by extending production time. Because of our employees’ safe practices, we at Profile Extrusion are proud to complete projects in a timely manner, saving our clients time and money for four straight years.

“I want to commend everyone for the efforts put forth to achieve this great goal,” continues Newby. “It took a conscious effort on the part of each employee to work in a safe manner.” To celebrate this milestone, Profile Extrusion will offer a steak dinner to all of its employees.

Mr. Young has already begun his work at Profile Extrusion, and we are looking forward to his continued employment with the company. We are excited to introduce this new hire to coincide with the installation of our new Presezzi press. With both additions to the staff and physical aspects of the company, we look forward to continued growth for many years!

We believe decisions aren’t made just on present events, but on future expectations based on research and gut instinct.”
