The coil coating method under controlled conditions not only enhances the paint finish quality but also brings the cost down. Moreover, the finish also imparts flexibility to the sheet so that it can pass through the testing conditions during forming, handling, fabrication, and installation.
By adhering to various aspects like ageing and weathering appearance, to name a few, the particular paint finish gets a warm acceptance from the end-users. The paint finish, which results in better adhesion and higher longevity, definitely scores high in the performance test.
Aludecor’s Double Coat Double Bake LineThe paint consists of 3 main components – pigment, binder resins and solvent. Various coating systems with different performance levels are available at different costs. The resin type is the deciding factor for paints. Commonly heard terms like fluorocarbon, epoxy, acrylic, polyester and urethane are associated with resins. These resins, a mix of several elements, play a pivotal role in imparting the mechanical properties to the paint finish and easing the process of product bending during fabrication. The presence of resins helps retain the gloss and resist scratches, abrasion and dirt deposition on the coil. The features mentioned above result from an optimum balance of flexibility and hardness, leading to a better product.
The expansion in the metal particles makes the paint lose its lustre prematurely. The third coat, generally the clear coat, helps to maintain the size of the metal particles in the paint and thus contributes to retaining the glossiness of the paint for a more extended period compared to the two-coat system.
The four crucial parameters behind selecting the coil coating technique are aesthetics, efficiency, convenience, and durability.
The Environmental Friendly Pre-painted Surface of Aludecor ACP Sheets
Pre-painted aluminium surfaces can be recycled without any deterioration in quality. This virtue is absent in other building materials like brick, cement, and wood. The performance graph falls drastically in the case of non-metallic surfaces after recycling in terms of longevity, aesthetics, and robustness.
- Double Coat Double Bake Line: Aludecor can offer single-coat, two-coat, and three-coat coil coating processes through its double-coat double-bake line. The two-coat process is generally done for all PVDF paints. Three-coat facilitates maintaining the glossiness of metallic paints.
- Innovation: We at Aludecor have always tried to stay updated with the latest information on the usage of the apt coil coating technology that will eventually help our clientele in the long run. New technologies are being introduced in the coil coating process of Aludecor to maintain colour consistency across batches/panels.
- 98% VOC Capture: During the coil coating, the curing ovens burn the harmful Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs), which are detrimental to human health and the environment. This is an energy-saving process where the combustion product can be used as fuel. No pollutants will be produced during the entire process. The coil coating technique can potentially capture almost 98% of VOCs.
- Abiding by the EPA Standards: Our coil coating unit is equipped with the latest technology to meet the stringent parameters of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
- Recyclable Product: All Aludecor final products adhere to green norms. The pre-painted aluminium sheets are fully recyclable.
