POLYKOTE Coil Coating Systems

Multi-purpose
polyester coatings
Polykote coatings are field proven, multiple purpose polyester
finishes designed for a wide variety of applications. These coatings
provide superior flow characteristics over a wide range of cure
temperatures. Polykote coatings may be applied as single coat
finishes or utilized with a Valspar recommended corrosion resistant
primer to meet stringent roll-forming and corrosion demands.

Benefits
Polykote coatings provide a number of unique benefits including:
h Exceptional resistance to sun, rain and other natural elements
h Superior scratch resistance
h Exceptional dirt and stain resistance
h Excellent overall adhesion
h Great flexibility and formability

Colors
Polykote coatings are available in a wide spectrum of popular
industry colors.

Substrates End Uses:

h Hot-Dip Galvanized (HDG) Polykote coatings are ideal for long-life external use on agricultural
h Galvalume ®
buildings, light commercial and pre-engineered buildings including:
h Galfan ®
h Residential metal siding and roofing systems
h Cold-Rolled Steel (CRS) h Interior liner panels, doors and trim
h Aluminum h Rain carrying equipment
h Mobile homes and truck trailers
h Sign blank stock
h Curtain rods, canopies and awnings
h Enclosures
h Other metal building components
