Things to remember about Chromadek

Chromadek is specified as a minimum zinc coating of Z200 & ULTIM is Z275 Key changes to optimise the paint system enhanced colour retention & stability On going paint development has led to more heat reflective Chromadek colours Chromadek has the following advantages: - improved edge protection - less prone to formability cracking that could lead to corrosion problems All Chromadek material is branded on the back of the sheet. Chromadek is the registered trade mark for the range of organic coated steels manufactured solely by ArcelorMittal South Africa. By specifying Chromadek, the purchaser can be certain that the product has been comprehensively tested and evaluated with full technical back-up.

What goes into Chromadek Why a paint coating?

1. Aesthetic appeal
making a surface more appealing. This includes colour, gloss and surface structure

2. Corrosion protection
A paint gives barrier properties to water and to corrosive agents

3. Resistance to UV
Even if a given colour or gloss can be achieved with almost any paint, the aesthetic effect can only be guaranteed if the topcoat is stable (as a function of time. Colour and gloss changes should be limited when the paint is exposed to sunlight.

4. Mechanical properties and surface robustness

During service, some mechanical properties are needed, such as: hardness, scratch resistance, wear resistance, abrasion resistance

What is Pre-painted Steel?

Prepainted steel is generally composed of: A steel substrate protected by a surface treatment, a primer and a topcoat.

What differentiates Chromadek ? The ultimate corrosion barrier, galvanised

Zn offers the best edge protection, insist on it 6 Zn based steel roofing provides ultimate corrosion protection

A few paint system quick facts

the substrate?
The steel substrate is hot-dip galvanized. The zinc layer gives a first protection against corrosion in Z200 or Z275 for Chromadek and ULTIM

the surface treatment?

The surface treatment is the first step in coil coating. This is a very thin layer of a few nanometers to ensure the adhesion of the organic layer to the substrate enhancing the corrosion resistance.

the primer?
The role of the primer is to promote adhesion ensuring the corrosion resistance of the top or bottom coat application, usually applied from 5m.

the topcoat?
The topcoat provides the required surface characteristics, such as final appearance (colour, gloss, texture,), hardness, resistance to ultraviolet and resistance to abrasion.

the back coat?

Similar to the top coat with less harsh exposure and most importantly to guard against opportunistic corrosion derived from moisture and condensation (in certain instances the back coat is unwashed and this presents an opportunistic area for failure), this is where ULTIM is superior

This is why Chromadek is a preferred roofing solution:

What makes Chromadek better ?

Chromadek ULTIM: The paint system configuration on the back coat Newer paint system formulation to improve fading Can go into a 1km coastal corrosive zone up to 400m (closer distance to coast application, more design choices)

Chromadek paint systems enhanced

The aesthetic life is governed by the stability of the paint system against degradation from sunlight (UV, temperature) which is revealed by the degree of fading.

Chromadek colour range

Its really cool !

An exciting development Heat Reflective roofing solutions

Four of the colours of the Chromadek range (See Data Sheet C1.4), Charcoal Grey, Dark Dolphin, Buffalo Brown and Aloe Green utilize an advanced thermal technology paint system. This advanced paint system incorporates a heat reflective pigment providing up to 8C cooling and improved durability. The durability of an exterior coating is measured according to its capability of maintaining gloss, colour and film integrity. How Heat Reflective Chromadek Work? The heat reflective pigments present in Heat Reflective Chromadek are chemically inert and highly stable. Heat Reflective Chromadek reflects more of the suns energy to prevent the coating from absorbing energy directly resulting in less heat build up resulting in longer lifecycles (less fading).

Branding and marking

If it doesnt say Chromadek, it wont last like Chromadek. Not all colour roof sheeting is Chromadek. Chromadek, is marked on the reverse side at intervals of approximately 900mm, parallel to the length of the strip, about 25mm from the edge. The letters are approximately 5mm in height and of the dot-matrix type.
