Many Shades of White Capstock for Rail

By John Macaluso | November 3, 2016

Designer’s White. Bright White. Cream. White Dove. Historic White. Milk Mustache. Every shade of white remains white, season after season, in our highest performing line of capstock grades for fence, rail and fenestration.

Available in a range of finishes, from highly matted to highly glossed – as well as chalking and non-chalking grades – Teknor Apex capstock materials show significant improvements to reduce yellowing by as much as 1-2 units compared to conventional grades, via accelerated weathering.

Accelerated QUV Weathering

QUV conditions follow ASTM G154 Cycle 1.  Color Measurements were taken with specular included D65-10°

We rigorously test new capstock grades – in four geographic locations (FL, AZ, NC and OH), in addition to Xenon, QUV and environmental chamber testing. In addition to outdoor and accelerated weathering, we perform a battery of tests including, scratch, mar, abrasion, stain and adhesion to name a few that assist our customers in making better informed decisions on material selection.   

And if other colors are required, Teknor offers a complete line of high performance alloy capstocks, for medium and dark colors, and an extensive weathering database to demonstrate long term performance.   

With the ever-growing demand for better outdoor living experiences, these capstocks provide for a more striking aesthetic while providing the low maintenance that creates high levels of customer satisfaction.
