Shade variation and the cornsweet illusion: A plight of the metal composite panels manufacturing industry

Image
Facade Installation Industry is buzzing with the discussion that is regarding the shade variation in metal composite panels. It is often mixed up with colour fading, shading variation is the occurrence of slight differences in attractiveness and looks that are observed in various batches of the identical metal composite panels. Before investing in metal composite panels the below-given points should be kept in mind by the user to maintain long-lasting aesthetics: 1.       PVDF or Lumiflon paint in 70:30 ratio of PVDF and Acrylic-based paints should always be coating the front-facing top part of the metal composite panels. 2.       They certainly should have a two-coat paint application typically of 25-28 micron thickness or it should have a three Coat paint application of 30-35 micron thickness. 3.       The coating should be with high-end paints which have been sourced from reputed brands. ...

Aluminium composite panels or ACP sheets exhibit remarkable properties of fire resistance and others suitable for building structures that are sturdy as well as beautiful. These are further strengthened with the help of various coatings. These coatings have some unique features. Some are meant to impart added thermal resistance to material, while others can protect from rust and moisture, etc. Explained here some of the popular coatings used for making building materials. a.        PET film PET or polyethylene terephthalate is known to be quite a sturdy coating for plastic material. Its shine is certainly outstanding and so are its functions. This film offers advantages of thermal insulation and resistance, clarity of looks, resistance to high temperatures, electrical insulation, and above all, high tensile strength. Thus, PET film or PET coating can increase the life of any building material by many years and keep it new and fresh. It certainl...
