Excerpt

The new polyester-based Alesta IP Gloss has been developed by DuPont CoatingSolutions for a broad range of industrial indoor and outdoor applications. The new glossy powder coating system features optimised application properties combined with high weathering and UV resistance as well as mechanical properties and a more flexible curing window. As a result, Alesta IP Gloss fulfils the high requirements in many areas of industrial powder coating.

The new powder coating system allows functional, visual and economic advantages to be optimised when coating all kinds of metals. The new product will be available from March 2012. A key feature of the new powder coating system is its enhanced application characteristics. 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, for example between 150 and 250 microns, without even the slightest surface defect. The good transfer efficiency leads to reduced material consumption and high productivity. The more flexible curing window cuts energy consumption. To enable users to test the powder coating, DuPont CoatingSolutions is offering a 1 kg can of Alesta IP Gloss free of charge for test coatings. These can be ordered at www.​ipgloss.​de. …
