EURAMAX’s transparent coatings offer a unique aesthetic for metal products, showcasing the natural beauty of the substrate while providing durability and protection. Let’s explore the features and guidelines associated with these transparent coatings.
Transparent Coating Technology
EURAMAX’s transparent coatings are crafted using a semi-transparent topcoat in combination with a colorless pre-treatment. This combination allows the natural metal aesthetics of the substrate to shine through, revealing its texture, aesthetic variations, and subtle color nuances. EURAMAX’s rigorous quality checks ensure a refined surface finish, enhancing the overall visual appeal.
Guidelines for Usage
While transparent coatings offer exceptional aesthetics, there are specific guidelines to follow for optimal performance:
- End-Use Location: The recommended end-use distance from coastal areas should be at least 1.5 km to minimize exposure to corrosive elements.
- Environmental Considerations: Avoid using transparent coatings in heavy industrial or corrosive environments to maintain their longevity and appearance.
- Geographical Limits: Limited end-use is suggested between 30° Northern Latitude and 30° Southern Latitude to account for varying climatic conditions.
- Order Quantities: Maximum and minimum order quantities may apply based on project requirements.
- Natural Variations: Note that bare material may exhibit color variations and small irregularities inherent to the metal substrate.
