Standard Packaging

44 lbs / 20 kg carton or 5 lbs / 2.5 kg Minipack

Specific Gravity

Approximately 1.2 - 1.8 (g/cm2) depending on pigmentation (ASTM D792)

Theoretical Coverage

at 60 µm / 2.4 mils film thickness: 9.8 m2/kg / 30.2 sq ft

Processing

Corona or Tribo* manual or automatic.
*Suitability of metallic effects for Tribo processing must be verified prior to application. Please consult our latest edition of relevant information sheets.

Dry Storage Stability

6 months at no more than 77° F / 25° C

Weather Resistance

Florida exposure at a 45° angle — facing south – RAL 8014*

*The remaining gloss values that can be expected vary depending on the original gloss level and color. A reasonable degree of loss of gloss and color variation due to long-term UV exposure can be expected.

Note : Post-bending properties of any part must be verified prior to application, as minor cracks in the coated surface may lead to corrosion. Joint sealants and any other auxiliary products, such as glazing aids, gliding waxes, drilling and cutting lubricants, which come in contact with the coated surface must be ph-neutral and free of substances which may damage the finish. Prior to coating, a suitability test at the applicator is therefore highly recommended.

Performance Data on Aluminum

Checked under laboratory conditions on a yellow chromated aluminum test panel, which is 0.7(mm) thick. Actual product performance may vary due to product specific properties such as gloss, color, effect and finish as well as application related and environmental influences.
