Garnalex, has been granted the Qualicoat Seaside Licence for optional coating protection for use in conditions such as within 5Km of the coastline.
Martin Froggatt, the manufacturer’s health, safety, environmental and quality manager explained: This ensures our products are manufactured to the highest standards for use in seaside and coastal environments and provides the highest levels of Quality Assurance and confidence for our customers.”
Since 2008, Qualicoat has offered the class where the minimum removal of aluminium surface is increased from 1g/sm to 2g/sm using a dip or spray process of either an acid or a combination acid/alkaline etch.
This deeper etch removes more contaminants and therefore offers a more robust pretreatment for areas where local atmospheres carry corrosive salts (chlorides) and other aggressive pollutants.
