SILICONIZED POLYESTER


Siliconized polyester
paint system, is an economical, long-lasting protective coating, suitable for standard use. Used in the construction industry for years, siliconized polyester coatings have been improved with the addition of ceramic pigments, which help minimize color fade and chalking.

Available on:

  • G-90 galvanized

  • Galvalume3003 aluminum

  • Painted aluminum is available as a special order, subject to quantity requirements.

This coating is an economical painted finish that works especially well when your color selection is in lighter shades and earth tones, and color fade is not critical.

TEST DATA:
To meet these specifications, coating must be applied over a properly cleaned and pretreated G-90 galvanized, Galvalume or aluminum substrate.
