Performance

Coating Attributes

Colorcoat Urban™ is coated in a high performing organic plastisol formulation, unique to Corus:

• The coating is able to attain a 200 micron thickness due to the special viscosity of the coating.
  
• The thickness provides superior robustness for the processing and in use phase.
  
• Coating and the substrate are highly flexible to avoid damage during fabrication and installation.
  
• Special pigments are extremely UV resistant ensuring that the product retains its distinctive matt colour. The UV performance also contributes to the products longer life durability.
  
• At the end of life, research has shown, that the substrate can be completely recycled with zero impact from the coating.

Durability

The durability of Colorcoat Urban™ is derived from its metallic coated substrate and the high performing 3 coat paint system, all brought together in a carefully controlled, ISO9001 approved, manufacturing process to deliver the very best quality and performance.
