Corrosion protection coating service Enduraplate

protectivehydro-oleophobicabrasion-resistant

Short description
Enduraplate is a coated metal panel based on steel or aluminium covered with Tedlar® PVF film, designed for long-term exterior durability and aesthetic protection in architectural applications and extreme climates. The inert, low-reactivity PVF film has over 50 years of proven durability and reduces building maintenance costs. The film formulation is PFAS-free, offering an environmental alternative to conventional painted finishes.

General

• Chemical resistance (acids, bases, solvents).
• Stain resistant and anti-graffiti properties.
• High mechanical strength with excellent elongation and flexibility; suitable for bending without cracks.
• UV and climatic stability with guaranteed performance over 30 years.
• Suitable for outdoor architectural use.
• Easy to clean and low maintenance.
