Technical properties
The choice of the paint system depends on the end use and the environment. Several products are suitable for highly aggressive environments, such as urban and coastal environments, hot and humid overseas climates, sand storms etc.
The substrates used for these applications are galvanised steel or Optigal® (Zn-Al-Mg). For more information on the available metallic substrates and the technical properties of the different products, please consult the technical data sheets.
Please contact us for advice on the choice of the most suitable grade.
A temporary removable protective film can be applied on the top side, depending on the type of coating. Please contact us for further information.
Mechanical properties
Granite® products are available with a wide range of mechanical properties, depending on the substrate used and the intended application. See properties of the different substrates.
