Coil coatings | Arkema Coating resins

Coil coating resins from Arkema help match aesthetic aspects with industrial protection. Recognized as the most efficient and cost-effective way to pre-paint steel and aluminium substrates, coil coating is a continuous, automated process for coating metal before fabrication into end products.

Enhance pre-painted metal performance using our polyester binders

Coil coatings are specially formulated coatings applied to metal coil to provide protection, durability, and aesthetic appeal to a wide range of products such as domestic appliances, transportation, roof tiles, rolling shutters, wall claddings etc.

Coil coatings offer a multitude of benefits, making them a popular choice for protecting and enhancing the performance of metal products:

Protection: Shield against moisture, UV radiation and corrosion, extending the lifespan of the coated product
Durability: Withstand extreme conditions, resisting scratches, chipping, and fading
Aesthetic Appeal: Offer a wide range of colors, finishes and textures, enhancing the visual appeal of metal products
Cost Efficiency: Reduce maintenance, repair, and replacement costs over the product's lifespan
Sustainability: Improve energy efficiency and has low VOC content (up to -15%, depending on the layer and the color), support eco-friendly practices
Process Efficiency: Enable efficient, continuous application, reducing production time and waste

Sustainable shield for metal products

In addition to providing protection and enhancing the performance of metal products, coil coatings also contribute to sustainability efforts.

Key drivers for development integrate:

Elimination of Substances of Concern & Hazardous Air Pollutants: Low VOC content in coil coatings improves air quality, creating healthier living and working environments
Downstream Benefits: Yield gain (increase coverage of coil coating line by 5% to 10% in m²/kg/μm) contributes to production time optimization
Durability: Improved durability, enhanced flexibility and color aesthetics equals long-lasting performance
Alternative Feedstocks: Resin based on renewable monomers available. Mass Balance approach (Certificates upon request).
