Duralloy® is a TGIC free, tough thermosetting powder coating that exhibits decorative and durability characteristics suitable for interior and exterior product applications combined with excellent overall performance.

Refer to AAMA 609 and 610 As a general rule, cleaning of externally located powder coating surfaces must take place every six months. Where salts/pollutants are more prevalent such as seaside, industrial and geothermal areas, a cleaning program should be carried out more frequently.

THREE STEPS TO CLEANING POWDER COATED SURFACES
1. Remove loose deposits with a wet sponge (avoid scratching the surface by dry dusting).
2. Using a soft clean cloth and a mild detergent in warm water, clean the powder coating to remove dust, salt or other deposits.
3. Always rinse after cleaning with fresh water to remove any remaining detergent.

WARNING: In some cases, strong solvents recommended for thinning various types of paints and also for cleaning up mastics/sealants are harmful to the extended life of the powder-coated surface. These solvents should not be used for cleaning purposes and will render the warranty void if used. If paint splashes or sealants/mastics need to be removed then the following solvents can be used safely: Methylated Spirits, Ethyl Alcohol, Isopropanol.

Duralloy® is only available in colours which meet Dulux Powder Coatings pigmentation criteria. Strong, bold colours may not necessarily meet these criteria and should be referred to Dulux Powder Coatings before specifying. – As a result of possible wide application variations and stoving conditions, some products and colours may show variation between Dulux Powder Coatings prepared samples and production applied material.

Therefore, it is the applicator and/or their customer’s responsibility to ensure the product conforms to their requirements. – For optimum performance ensure recommended dry film thickness is obtained. – Not recommended for use in highly corrosive environments such as severe marine or industrial locations. ­ Not recommended for components which are exposed to constant temperatures exceeding 120°C. – Excessive bending or post fabrication may cause cracking of the pretreatment and powder coating. Specifiers are advised to discuss post fabrication techniques with Dulux prior to commencing such fabrication.
