ALUCOBOND^® eco Surface Treatment

Overlacquering of stove-laquered ALUCOBOND^® eco surfaces
Customer requirements for special colour shades of ALUCOBOND^® eco composite panels are met in small amounts by overlacquering standard stove-lacquered ALUCOBOND^® eco surfaces or mill-finished surfaces.

Lacquering of mill-finished ALUCOBOND^® eco surfaces
The composition of lacquer coating for ALUCOBOND^® eco is basically the same as those for mill-finished aluminium surfaces. It is advisable to be familiar with coating systems and materials as well as working methods for aluminium.

• The maximum permissible temperature of the material (ALUCOBOND^® eco panels) must not exceed 70°C when applying fast-drying methods. During the drying process at high temperatures the ALUCOBOND^® eco panels must be positioned or stored with great care to prevent deforming.
• ALUCOBOND^® eco cut edges should not be in contact with organic solvents for a prolonged period of time to avoid weakening the bond.
• ALUCOBOND^® eco panels lacquered or overlacquered at a later stage should not be bent or folded. The lacquer in the bends or folds may be damaged due to the low elasticity of the top coat.
• Upon request, we can recommend lacquer suppliers who are able to apply lacquer that can be bent and folded.
• Only inferior lacquer adhesion can be achieved on core material exposed at cut edges.
• Please make a test prior to overlacquering and follow the instructions of the lacquer suppliers.
