Your introduction to coil coatings
This section of the site (with all the pages shown in the menu on the right) is written particularly for architects, designers and specifiers. It contains background information about the coil coating process, with particular focus on the coatings themselves.
It covers:
- the history of coil coating, to show the wealth of experience built into modern pre-coated systems.
- the wide range of substrates and their pre-treatment
- the coil coating process.
- an overview of paint — how paint is made and the painstaking process to develop reliable coatings.
- the various types of coil coatings, considering the history, pedigree and main uses of each type.
- quality in its widest scope — the international norms and specifications that have been developed to ensure the performance of coated coil.
- quality control procedures for paint — common procedures to ensure that the industry delivers the promised performance on every square metre.
- ways of being creative with coil — and Beckers is always delighted to hear of new ones to post on this site.
Beckers hopes that it will be a useful service for users and prospective users of coil coatings.
