Technical performance

As well as excellent UV and weather resistance, powder coating can withstand numerous mechanical and corrosive conditions.

C & O’s powder coating passes all these requirements and conducts daily tests to ensure such standards are maintained. These include:

Guarantees

As an approved applicator, C & O Powder Coatings has the ability to guarantee paint work on aluminium for up to 40 years. Guarantees for sites in standard locations are normally 30 years in duration, 40 if a higher UV resistant product is applied. A site deemed hazardous would be a marine, industrial or swimming pool location. For such sites prior notice must be given to C & O in order for all the local atmospheric conditions to be assessed. Guarantee request forms are submitted for review to the paint manufacturer who will award a guarantee on certain conditions. As an applicator, typical requirements are a minimum paint thickness of 60 microns, the customer must oversee the maintenance and care of the paint finish once installation is complete. Guidelines on the classifications of sites and maintenance required are available as downloadable PDF files. It is vital that notice is given prior to, during, and after all work is complete for the guarantee to be awarded. Once the project is finished, a certificate can be awarded to the customer.
