Once again, Chinese new year is just around
the corner and for this festive season, our IT department has decided to design a
title block to get our readers in the festive mood.
In our previous issue,
we wanted to
let our readers understand that colour change can be
measured. As colour fading will happen on any painted surface due to weathering elements, it
is important to check with your metal roofing manufacturer as to how fast
the roof colour
will fade. We advise you to take your time to study and compare
material
specifications.
On behalf of Colourcoil Industries,
the e-newsletter committee would like to wish our Chinese readers,
"HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR"
&
"GONG XI FA
CAI"
Thank you.

What does it take?
What does it
take to manufacture high performance pre-painted
steel (i.e. also known as colour coated
steel) for the metal roofing & wall cladding
industry?
From
a technical point of view, it is a combination of process and
paint quality. Simply put:
 Colourcoil Industries is proud
to be
the first and only manufacturer in the Asia-Pacific region to
use the latest
state-of-the-art infrared (IR) curing technology. Our pre-painted
steel finishes are brilliant; smooth and blemish-free with no pinholes
that may trap dirt, etc.
Colourcoil®
high performance pre-painted steel are only coated with
proprietary IR, custom formulated, high quality lead-free
paint coatings. When cured using Infra-red
technology, they exhibit excellent colour retention and
film durability properties. (Read the next article to find out
how paint quality can affect the long term performance of
your roof).

pre-painted steel benefit you when it comes to metal roofing?

Did You
Know..........?
All paint coatings contain two primary ingredients -
resin and pigment. The long-term performance of
exterior coatings is dictated by
resin strength and the correct choice
of pigmentation. You simply cannot have
one without the other. The right combination
will ensure a super-durable coating.
The resin's primary functions are
to provide adhesion, flexibility, hardness, moisture and
chemical resistance, and resistance to U-V
light.
The pigment provides the colour of
the coating. The right pigment is critical in formulating a
coating that resists fading, another important property of the
pigment.
What's the differences in pigment types?
Pigment used in exterior metal coatings fall into three classifications.
Here are the dictionary definitions of these three types - and their
meanings as used in the paint
industry:
|
Dictionary definitions: |
|
Paint industry
definitions: |
| or•gan•ic\or-'gan-ik:
of, relating to, or containing carbon compounds |
|
Organic
pigments: comprising of a class of pigments that may have good -
but usually not the ultimate durability. Just as the curtains in
your living room can be expected to fade with time, so can the
organic pigments used in coatings. It generally costs less to use
organic pigments.
|
| in•or•gan•ic\in-or-'gan-ik: being, or composed of matter other than plant or
animal: MINERAL |
|
inorganic pigments: pigments that are synthetic or naturally occurring
which do not contain carbon compounds. The majority of these
colorants provide excellent long-term performance. The exception is
carbon black. Their higher performance usually comes at a higher
cost than organic colorants.
|
| ce•ram•ic\ce-'ram-ik:
of or relating to any product made essentially from a nonmetallic
material by firing at high temperatures. |
|
ceramic
pigments: named after their original use in ceramic products,
these complex inorganic pigments are made from metal oxides
synthesized at molten metal temperatures. The most colour-stable
pigments available today, they offer unparalleled resistance to
heat, light, chemical attack and higher solar reflectance. These
attributes make them ideal to use in the highest quality exterior
coatings to assume long- term colour retention even after
decades of weathering. Higher costs is usually associated with their
higher performance. |
(Take note that low quality
or commercial quality pre-painted steel generally uses low
cost resins and organic pigments containing lead in their
paint formulation, hence, colour fading and chalking will occur in a very short
time span).
COLOURCOIL®
high performance pre-painted steel paint coatings are
manufactured using only high quality resins and
lead-free inorganic/ceramic
pigments. So,
if you are concern about the colour
performance of your next metal
roofing project as well as the environment, check out
COLOURCOIL®
high performance pre-painted steel that comes with full product
specifications.
