Colour Coated Steel Sydney from OneSteel Coil Coaters

The ColorGuard paint systems have been purpose designed for in-line coil coating and further developed for specific end product applications. For instance, ColorGuard is supplied standard with a 25% gloss finish, however 80% gloss levels can be achieved and supplied. Likewise certain end product applications require a protective backing coat to be applied to the reverse side of the substrate. Meticulous adherence to substrate preparation and paint system quality control ensures that ColorGuard maintains its superior finish and rich colour presentation right across the broad range of pre painted coil products.

Stage 1: A conversion coating is used to seal the prepared steel or aluminium substrate.

Stage 2: A primer is applied to enhance corrosion resistance of the finished product and improve the malleability of the finished ColorGuard product by optimising the adhesive bond between the paint and substrate.

Stage 3: A final top or finishing coat is applied in a third stage to produce the completed ColorGuard product. The finishing coat can vary depending upon the end application needs of our clients.

What finish do you require?
Not every end product application requires the optimum protection ColorGuard can deliver. Interior, protected applications do not require the level of protection of those applications intended for exterior coastal use. The protective properties of the ColorGuard paint system can be tailored to meet any end product application requirement.

Top coat variants
A polyester topcoat produces an ideal general-purpose and economical product for both internal and external use. Continued development over the years has seen durability and flexibility improvements for most profiling and rolling applications. The ColorGuard product range includes the Fluorocarbon (PVF2) system which enhances durability in harsh environments whilst maintaining its colour and gloss finish. This ColorGuard system offers many advantages for designers developing some of the more prestigious projects.

Abrasion Resistant Systems (abr)
For applications that require greater abrasive resistance, part of the ColorGuard range includes an ABR finish that offers high abrasion resistance. This is particularly advantageous for our shelving and office furniture manufacturing clients.
