Colorite Standard

ColoRite Standard was Developed to Provide a Durable Material for Exterior Applications with Good Weatherability and Formability.

Standards

  • Substrate : ASTM A653/A653M
  • Paint Coating : ASTM A755/755M
  • * Technical terms and conditions will be applied :

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
Galvanized steel, minimum G60(180 GSM). Grade CS Type A &B, FS Type A & B , SS 33, SS40 , SS50.

Typical Uses
