Colorite Hi-Build
ColoRite Hi-Build is a pre-painted galvanized steel developed to provide a durable material for exterior applications with good formability, good chemical resistance and corrosion resistance, suitable for highly aggressive (C4 & C5) environment conditions. The paint is a High Build Polyurethane Polyamide system, applied on a Galvanized substrate of Minimum 275 GSM (G90)zinc coating, with paint film thickness ranging from 60µm to 120 µm on weathering side.
Anti-Weathering Limited Warranty: 20 Years (UNICOIL Technical terms and conditions applicable).
