More than 90\u00a0per cent of pre-finished metals are made with liquid paint. The remaining 10 per cent use laminate film. Our range of pre-painted aluminium finishes, Vestis, from Mazzonetto, uses liquid paint. Wet coatings have four main components:<\/p>\n
Binders characterises different paint methods. Often pre-coated aluminium and steel\u00a0will be refereed to, or classified by its binder. Binders give paint structure and there are four varieties; polyester, polyurethane, polyvinylidene fluoride (PVdF), and plastisol (PVC). Each type has its own sub-classes, where\u00a0different chemical compositions create various levels of quality and durability.<\/p>\n
Vestis is considered a polyester product. Traditionally polyester paint was believed\u00a0to limit material flexibility and durability. Vestis differs from standard polyester coatings, as it sits within a sub-section, called\u00a0h<\/strong>igh durability polyester paint<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/em>This specialist coating provides\u00a0Vestis with\u00a0a 35 micron layer finish, instead of polyester paint’s standard offering of 20-25 microns. High durability polyester paints create improved surface performance, flexibility, and exceptional\u00a0UV resistance.<\/p>\n Solvents\u00a0help paint achieve a reliable smooth film across a product’s base material, prior to curing. Solvent are added to ensure the paint will flow well onto raw metal. Without reliable paint flow, achieving a smooth, consistent finish is near impossible.<\/p>\n Pigments create paint colour. In addition to colouring raw metal coil, pigments also determine some physical performance properties; such as corrosion resilience. Even coated aluminium is prone to corrosion. No mater how many layers of paint are applied, the product is still metal at its core. Deterioration can occur during coil storage,\u00a0and after installation. The pigment used in Vestis pre-painted aluminium provides a 40 year corrosion warranty, on applications located more than 1 km from the coast.

These supplements\u00a0can benefit production speed, UV stability, surface lustre and scratch, chemical and salt resistance.<\/p>\n For more information on Vestis pre-painted aluminium, visit our homepage, by clicking here<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/span>.
