BASEL, Switzerland--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Axalta Coating Systems (NYSE: AXTA), a leading global supplier of liquid
and powder coatings, introduces the Eloxal Selection, comprised
of high-performance metallic effect powder coatings from Axalta’s Alesta®
Super Durable range. The Eloxal Selection provides
reproducible, homogeneous finishes coupled with outstanding exterior
durability and high weather resistance, which make it ideal for outdoor
architectural applications.
The Eloxal Selection offers the appearance of the most popular
anodized finishes combined with all the benefits of a powder coating,
delivering an attractive and durable high-quality finish. And compared
to electrolytic oxidation, powder coatings have the added advantage that
they can be applied on different substrates including aluminum, steel
and cast components.
“Made with special bonding technology, the Eloxal Selection
offers our customers optimum ease of application and excellent
reproducibility. We know these highly reliable, easy to use, and
environmentally responsible products are just what the modern
construction industry requires, and we trust these new colors will
inspire architects who are working on some of the most impressive
state-of-the-art buildings around the globe,” says Dr René Mattern, Head
of Product Management and Technical Service for Axalta’s powder coatings
in Europe, Middle East and Africa.
Like all of Axalta’s Alesta powder coatings, the Eloxal Selection
is based on environmentally responsible formulations with virtually zero
VOC content, and the coatings meet major European environmental
standards. The new selection is GSB Master and Qualicoat class 2
certified. GSB is an international quality association for surface
finishes in architecture and industry to ensure quality in relation to
coatings as well as pretreatment. Qualicoat is a global quality label
committed to maintaining the quality of lacquering, painting and coating
on aluminum and its alloys for architectural applications; it is
considered the world’s leading quality label for the coating of aluminum.
The Eloxal Selection also meets AAMA 2604 requirements for
high-performance powder coatings on aluminum extrusions and panels.
