If you’re coating pieces that will be permanently outside and therefore need good wear ability and durability, then consider the super durable polyester instead of standard durable.
R-Series of architectural powder coatings has been specifically designed to provide a long lasting, outdoor durable coating. Harsh UV light, high temperature and humidity combine to have a damaging effect on the coating. R-Series powder paints are designed to withstand such demanding conditions. The powders undergo exhaustive in house and third party testing for colour stability, gloss retention and adhesion to the substrate under both laboratory and harsh climatic conditions (Florida, USA).
The R-Series offers three types of powders allowing the architect to choose the most suitable powder based on budget, application and durability requirements. All three types can be formulated to meet custom requirements that vary in colour, gloss, texture and metallic effect.
With the R-Series, Rapid Coat offers a limited period guarantee when used in accordance with the guidelines specified by the company. These specifications include product selection, application and maintenance guidelines and can be obtained by contacting Rapid Coat.
