Corrosion protection coating service Acquaplate

wear-resistantprotectivewaterproof

Description
Acquaplate is a coated metal sheet combining mechanical strength and metal compatibility with the weatherproof properties of polypropylene (PP), polyethylene (PE) and PVC-based films. It is intended for construction and industrial sheet applications requiring welding to like materials and easy mechanisation.

General

• Good resistance to roots and corrosion.
• UV resistant.
• Very good resistance to corrosion, dampness and abrasion.
• High folding flexibility.
• Easily mechanised.
• The PVC, PP or PE sheet can be welded to another sheet of the same material.
