Chemical Resistance

The range demonstrates excellent resistance to various substances, including water, brine, hydrochloric acid, dilute sulphuric acid, acetic acid, phosphoric acid, dilute alkalis, peroxides, bleach, alcohols, and urea. However, it's important to note that some cleaning products may potentially damage the appearance of the coating. It's advisable to test a small inconspicuous area first before using any cleaning product on the surface.

Testing

For mechanical, corrosion, durability and weathering tests please refer to the PowderLUX datasheet

Local repair and maintenance

Regular cleaning is recommended to maintain the appearance and durability of the Patina PowderLUX© finish, clean the coated surfaces periodically using mild detergent and water. Local repair can be undertaken but for extensive repair we recommend that material is returned for stripping and recoating of the material. Separate datasheets covering these areas are available on request
