EXHIBIT 3
Powder coated faades maintenance
INTRODUCTION

A maintenance-free surface coating for the construction industry is up till now unavailable in the
marketplace. No maintenance-free surface coating for the construction industry exists. This
includes products specially designed for parts of the world where climatic conditions put extreme
strain on the exterior coating.
Correct maintenance has a major influence in maintaining the aesthetic appearance of a coating,
thus expanding its years of service. Since the coating is usually exposed to a variety of
environmental conditions, depending on what weather zone in the globe it is exposed to,
maintenance should be handled differently in different parts of the world.

PERIODICAL CLEANING AND ROUTINE MAINTENANCE (Cleaning frequency)

Powder Coated Objects or Components Used Outdoors

Cleaning is typically used to remove dirt and stains to maintain the aesthetic impression of the
coating. When the coated objects or components are located in maritime sites, or highly polluted
areas, aggressive stains may result on the coating surface and the gloss will gradually fade away.
This may accelerate degradation of the coatings surface through corrosion, and will reduce the
coatings years of service.
Cleaning is generally recommended at 6-month intervals, but in highly exposed areas the frequency
should be increased; depending on the severity of climate conditions on the coated object or
components. Ordinary dirt and stains can be removed using a mild and non abrasive household
neutral detergent (pH 5 to 8), diluted with water. The cleaning agent should not contain abrasive
materials or solvents as they might have an adverse effect on the coating.

Powder Coated Objects or Components Used Indoors, Behind Glass

Typically, powder coated objects or components located or placed behind glass show no
deterioration. However, their visual and aesthetic appearance might be affected by dust, dirt and
splashes. It is recommended that these objects and components are washed periodically with a mild
and non abrasive household neutral detergent (pH 5 to 8) to maintain the coated surface in excellent
conditions.

Any mechanical damage may be repaired by following the below repair procedure.

RESTORATION THROUGH RUBBING AND POLISHING

In general, coatings are subject to alterations. It is the formulators responsibility to assure that
such changes occur evenly and that they will not have an effect on the uniform appearance, or the
aesthetic impression of the building. Nevertheless, after several years of exposure, coatings might
eventually need to be refreshed, even if periodical cleaning has been conducted. This is essential in
those parts of the world where climatic conditions put extreme strain on the coating.
One effective way for refreshing the coating is by means of rubbing and polishing.
Rubbing
1. Prior to rubbing, remove ordinary dirt, oil and grease by using a mild and non abrasive
household neutral detergent (pH 5 to 8) diluted with water.
2. Apply the rubbing solution on a lint-free cloth or tack and wipe the coating liberally by hand, or
with a machine. Repeated wiping will enhance the result.
3. Remove the solution with a clean cloth.
For further information, please consult the product supplier. For further assistance, please contact a
Jotun Powder Coatings representative in your area.
Polishing
1. After rubbing, it is advised to polish the coating with a polish compound to hoist the gloss and
enhance its aesthetic appearance.
2. Apply the polish compound on a lint-free cloth or tack and wipe the coating liberally by hand
or with a machine.
3. Conclude the process by wiping with a dry, clean cloth.
For further information, please consult the product supplier. Jotun Powder Coatings recommends
the use of polish compounds supplied by Jotun Paints. For further assistance, please contact a Jotun
Paints representative in your area.
Degradation of an opaque coating through weathering generally occurs on the outer layer.
Laboratory tests have shown that correct restoration by means of rubbing and polishing may
virtually allow the coating to regain its original properties, since the degraded material will be
removed (See graph below).

RECOMMENDED COATING REPAIR PROCEDURES

Polyester powder coatings intended for faade applications have shown excellent anti-corrosion
properties when coated. However, if the coating is partly damaged, this may affect the overall
performance and should be repaired.
Re-coating with Wet Paint
Surface Preparation
To assure optimum adhesion and corrosion protection, a correct surface preparation is paramount
before applying an organic coating, being it a primer or a top coat:
1. Make sure the coating surface is free of dirt, oil, grease, wax and any other foreign substance.
If necessary, clean the surface with a mild and non abrasive household neutral cleaner (pH 5 to
8).
2. Spots or damaged areas down to bare metal should be grinded or sanded before the application
of a primer. Ensure smooth feathering of the coating edges.
3. Damaged areas exposing undamaged pre-treatment should be rubbed down by careful sanding
to preserve the pre-treatment.
4. Dampen a lint-free cloth or tack with Xylene and wipe liberally to clean the areas to be
repainted.
When the damage shows an exposed substrate it is essential to apply a primer to the exposed
substrate before repainting. If the substrate is not exposed and the pre-treatment intact, a top coat
may be applied directly without the need to a primer.
The suitable repair coating varies according to the climatic conditions straining the coating, and the
compliance with any local regulations related to solvent emissions and volatile organic compounds.
Details on the most suitable repair compound should be sought from your local Jotun Powder
Coatings representative.

SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS

Metallic Finishes
As mica or metallic flakes are usually present in metallic shades ingredients, special care must be
taken during their application and for their maintenance. For routine maintenance, periodic
washing with a mild and non abrasive detergent (pH 5 to 8) is recommended. When repairing or
restoring with wet paint, extreme care must be taken. Repair or restoration by means of rubbing
and polishing should be avoided as it will result in discoloration. Please contact your nearest Jotun
Powder Coatings office before initiating a repair or restoration job.
Matt Finishes
For routine maintenance periodical washing with a mild detergent (pH 5 to 8) is recommended. If
repair or restoration is required, rubbing and polishing may be used although laboratory tests have
shown the gloss level of the original coating will be affected. Uneven application of the original
coating may result in an uneven gloss appearance.
Faded Colours
When repair or renovation will no longer reconstruct an aesthetically acceptable coating, then
recoating will be required. Please contact your local Jotun Powder Coatings representative to
discuss a suitable corrective measure.

Application conditions

APPLICATION, COATING THICKNESS AND CURING

Coating of the objects must be carried out in one operation and in such a way that exposed surfaces
receive a film thickness of at least 60 m. Film thickness of the cured coating must, at no point, be
less than 48 m.
For objects or details, which are to be worked after coating (i.e. sawing, milling, and drilling), the
coating thickness must not exceed 120 m. Corro-Coat PE-SDF powder products covered by this
warranty must be completely cured according to the corresponding Product Data Sheet guidelines.
Buyer is required to check the oven on a regular basis as described in Sections 4 and 5 in Exhibit 2.

CONTROL AND DOCUMENTATION

Prior to production runs or where re-starts follow temporary breaks in production, a sufficient
number of test panels must be coated and cured for testing and control purposes.
Similarly, test panels must be coated and cured for testing at least once per shift. A test should also
be run at least once per colour or per job, when the job requires less than 8-hour shift to be
completed.
The test panels must be coated and cured for testing according to the tests in Sections 4 and 5 in
Exhibit 2.
Test panels must be prepared (pre-treated and coated) under normal factory conditions and must be
cured together with a normal series in the oven.
A written test log must be prepared and kept for the duration of the warranty period. At least one
coated test panel from each test point must be retained for the same period.
Details of the operation and control of the pre-treatment process (including drying) must be logged
and kept, as must records from control of oven parameters and curing conditions.
All documentation must be made available for inspection upon request.

HANDLING, MOUNTING AND MAINTENANCE

It is important that during construction and assembly work the coated Parts are protected from
mechanical damage as well as cement and concrete spillage.
Special care must be taken when loading and unloading coated components. Corners and edges are
especially susceptible to impact and should be protected.
Reasonable care must be taken during transportation and on site. Strict site discipline is the only
effective way to prevent handling or installation damage.
Direct contact with unapproved tapes, adhesives, cleaning materials or other chemicals must be
avoided.
Mounting techniques must be suitable for powder coated aluminium. The coated objects must not
be in contact with materials or other substrates that may create galvanic corrosion.
Regular adhesive tapes must not be allowed to come into direct contact with objects coated with
polyester powder coating. Should protective tape be required, then only a tape designed and
suitable for protection of coated aluminium substrates shall be used.
Compliance, as well as ensuring that no residue, of any nature, is left on the coating, is The End
User or Buyers responsibility. It is the responsibility of The End User as well to ensure the
necessary maintenance, for repairs of damages and general cleaning, cf. Exhibit 3.
