Alumcoast Finish
Alumcoast is a trusted line of aluminum powder-coated products that pride themselves on their commitment to
quality. Alumcoast follows a meticulous 5 step process, which includes mill finish checking, pickling, water
washing, passivation, and drying. This comprehensive approach ensures that the aluminum profile remains
intact, preventing any possibility of peeling, while also eectively slowing down the fading and chalking of the
finish.
The powder coat finish on Alumcoast products is subjected to a series of rigorous tests to ensure its durability
and performance. These tests include assessments for weather resistance, adhesion, flexibility, impact
resistance, chromatic aberration, boiling water resistance, and glossiness. With a combination of their
meticulous 5-step process, advanced equipment, and thorough testing, Alumcoast stands as a reliable and
trusted provider of aluminum powder-coated products.
Alumcoast utilizing advanced equipment called vertical powder coating lines, which meets and has surpassed
other comparable US products in our industry. These cutting-edge process play a crucial role in achieving
exceptional results. As a testament to their commitment to excellence, Alumcoast confidently provides a 5-year
warranty to their customers.
Alumcoast Preparation
In preparing Alumcoast products for powder coating, we include a passivation step to ensure thorough cleaning
and treatment of the aluminum surface. This process eliminates oils, contaminants, and oxidation, ensuring
proper adhesion of the powder coating. Once passivation is complete, we proceed with the application of the
powder coating. This coating acts as a robust and protective layer that shields the aluminum surface from
corrosion-causing elements like moisture, UV radiation, and oxidation. During the powder coating process, a dry
powder is evenly sprayed onto the aluminum surface. The coated product is then cured at high temperatures,
forming a durable and protective coating.
Apart from enhancing aesthetics, the powder coating provides exceptional resistance against scratches, fading,
and corrosion. It significantly contributes to the long-term durability and performance of Alumcoast’s aluminum
products. To ensure the best results, it is imperative to follow industry standards for the correct application of the
powder coating, including thorough surface preparation through cleaning and etching. These practices
guarantee optimal adhesion and enhance the overall performance of the powder coating on the aluminum
substrate.
ALUMCOAST POST PRODUCT ASSESSMENT
The PPG salt spray test, following ASTM B117 standards, is a trusted method for assessing the corrosion resistance of coatings. It ensures consistent results and is widely accepted as a measure of product quality by manufacturers and consumers alike.
Our powder coating has been rigorously tested for 1,000 hours, showing no rust, blistering, or abnormalities at cross points, demonstrating its durability. It also meets GB/T 1766-2008 standards for evaluating paint and varnish degradation against environmental factors and longevity. However, the salt spray test should be part of a broader evaluation, considering other factors such as environmental exposure, mechanical stress, and chemical resistance for a comprehensive assessment of coating performance.
ALUMCOAST POWDER COAT WARRANTY
To assure the heist quality in Alumcoast powder coated products uses the new in powder coating technology
equipment such as vertical powder coating lines to We oer a standard 5-year warranty on all Alumcoast
products. During this warranty period, you can expect the aluminum profile coating to remain intact without any
issues such as peeling o or chalking. However, please note that there may be a slight fade in the color over time.
The extent of color fading and coating chalking can be influenced by factors such as salinity, humidity, and UV
radiation intensity. It’s important to consider these factors, as they can vary depending on the environment in
which the coated aluminum profiles are used.
