Molawan
Molawan was Developed for Cost-Effective Applications Including Roofing and Cladding. Molawan is a Paint system comprising hot-dip galvanized steel sheet with a minimum Zinc coating mass of 90 gsm that is painted on and oven cured with regular polyester in combination with a custom-formulated primer. This produces a nominal paint dry film thickness of 20 microns on the top surface (inclusive of primer) and 10 microns on the bottom (inclusive of primer). Molawan was developed for cost-effective applications including roofing and cladding.
