Short descriptionAstraplate + is a decorative coated steel sheet combining a polymer film and steel to provide a stainless‑steel appearance while improving formability and flexibility.
General- Improves corrosion resistance of the metallic substrate.
- Decorative stainless‑steel appearance.
- Easy cleaning and very good resistance to scratching and cleaning products.
- High resistance to UV ageing; inert material.
- Food safe.
- High flexibility with excellent bending, drawing and cupping capacity.
Product behaviour (testing)- Total coating thickness: 17–20 µ (EN 13523-1 / ASTM D1005).
- Specular gloss (Gardner 60º): >100% (EN 13523-2 / ASTM D523) — depends on film type.
- Pencil hardness: >4H (EN 13523-4 / ASTM D3363).
- Resistance to rapid deformation (impact): 18 J, without detachment (EN 13523-5 / ASTM D2794).
- Erichsen cupping adherence: 8 mm without detachment (EN 13523-6 / ASTM E643).
- T‑bending: 0T without cracking or separation (EN 13523-7 / ASTM D522).
- Salt spray resistance: >800 hours, max 5 mm detachment (EN 13523-8 / ASTM B117).
- Accelerated Xenotest ageing: >1000 hours, ΔE < 1 (EN 13523-10 / ASTM D6695).
- MEC friction test: DF >150 without change (EN 13523-11 / ASTM D5402).
- Stain resistance: stain‑free after 24 hours for common stains (EN 13523-18 / ASTM D1308).
