COATING SPECIFICATION
TRANSPARENT COATINGS
Both sides of the Aluzinc® alloy coated steel are coated with a transparent layer that provides protection and a uniform substrate for further coatings. This transparent coating allows identification of the aluminium-zinc substrate to be made by distributors and customers.
OVERGLAZE
Clear 100% acrylic resin coating for granule binding and a semi-gloss finish. It helps enhance the appearance as well as increase the resistance to physical damage.
BASECOAT
A tough opaque coating based on acrylic resin. It bonds the stone chips and protects the underlying layer from water and UV radiation. It has good UV resistance and retains its flexibility although it does become harder after the first few weeks.
STONE CHIP
Carefully selected granules provide excellent surface coverage and attractive natural looking and lasting colours.
