Alesta® IP Gloss – excellent properties for indoor and outdoor

March 19, 2012 - PRLog -- The new glossy powder coating system excels with optimized application properties in combination with high weathering and UV resistance as well as mechanical properties and a wide curing window. These enable industrial users and job-shop coaters to achieve outstanding results and to create added value for their customers.

When it comes to industrial coating of metal surfaces for indoor and outdoor use, powder coatings based on polyester are often the first choice. The new powder Alesta® IP Gloss from DuPont CoatingSolutions allows for optimizing functional and visual as well as economical advantages in coating of all kinds of metals.

Optimized properties for increased quality
Therefore Alesta® IP Gloss offers enhanced application characteristics. The powder shows excellent reactivity and very good flow. The coated, glossy surface provides good resistance against weathering and UV radiation. At the same time, it features good mechanical properties and is highly flexible. Additionally, the new powder allows users to apply a higher layer thickness, e.g. between 150 and 250 microns, without even the slightest surface defect.

Economical advantages included
Beside the properties for functional and visual added value, users of Alesta® IP Gloss can also benefit from economical advantages. On the one hand, these ensue from the good transfer efficiency, which leads to reduced material consumption and high productivity. On the other hand, the wider curing window allows for energy savings.

Versatility in applications
Other plus factors are the versatile application spectrum of Alesta® IP Gloss and the wide range of available RAL colours. The powder can be used for functional and decorative coatings of machinery, HVAC equipment such as heating, cooling and air conditioning systems, garden and urban furniture, bicycles, fences, gas cylinders, fire extinguishers, office furniture, lightning, and much more. This versatility enables especially job-shop coaters to reduce the number of powder coatings kept on stock which leads to cost and space savings.
