BASF Coatings AG developed new products for use in the coil coating segment:with the innovative materials, BASF is offering a new coating which reflects heat and is thus able to conserve energy. The other products improve the coatings performance in the building and construction sector. “Ultra-Cool”,a coil coating which is based on a fluoropolymer resin system and which is used to coat metal roofs can help to keep buildings cooler in the heat of summer and save on the costs of air conditioning. In contrast with energy-intensive air conditioning, Ultra-Cool from BASF Coatings offers a particularly eco-efficient solution. Two product versions that go under the “First Coat”product name are intended for the pre-treatment of metals: what sets both of these innovative products apart is their combination of inorganic acids and organic resin material. In conjunction with a suitable primer and topcoat, these components provide exceptionally good anti-corrosion properties and additional surface protection for galvanized steel and aluminium. The high performance nature of the product provides the basis for several novel uses. High resistance and durability also distinguishes the two coil coatings formulations “Fluoroceram”and “UltraMet”: these coatings contain at least 70 per cent fluoropolymer resin and are therefore, particularly suitable for building and construction applications. They are highly UV-resistant, abrasion-resistant,flexible and colourfast. The ruggedness in extreme weather conditions, acid rain and air pollution without bleaching or flaking makes these paints virtually maintenance-free.
