Colorite Standard

ColoRite Standard is a Paint system comprising hot-dip galvanized steel sheet with a minimum Zinc coating mass of 180 gsm (G60) that is painted on and oven cured with premium polyester in combination with a custom-formulated primer. This produces a nominal paint dry film thickness of 25 microns on the top surface (inclusive of primer) and 10 microns on the bottom (inclusive of primer). ColoRite Standard was developed to provide a durable material for exterior applications with good weatherability and formability.

Substrate
