Product Overview - ColorCote® pre-painted steel and Aluminium roofing and cladding systems
ColorCote® pre-painted steel and aluminium roofing and cladding products have been manufactured in New Zealand for more than 30 years.
To ensure all its colours and coatings are more than equal to the worst the New Zealand climate can throw at them, Pacific Coilcoaters runs a rigorous testing regime, with exposure sites at Muriwai Beach on the untamed west coast of the North Island and in the Auckland industrial suburb of Penrose.
There is a six-tier range of ColorCote® pre-painted metal roofing and cladding products – AR8™/ARX™, ZM8™, ZMX™, ZRX™ and ZR8™ – all using the latest coating technology. They have either a steel (with a corrosion-resistant aluminium-zinc coating) or aluminium substrate and each product has a different level of primer and type of top-coat depending on the environment in which it is to be used.
There are ColorCote® systems to suit all New Zealand homes. Which is best for your home is determined by your climatic environment or geographic location.
ColorCote® ZR8™
Suitable for moderate climatic environments, ZR8™ has a hot-dipped aluminium/zinc alloy-coated steel substrate. It has a waterborne or polyester top coat baked on a polyester primer, giving an extremely durable paint system that resists UV damage and provides excellent gloss and colour retention.
ColorCote® ZM8™
Suitable for moderate climatic environments, ZM8™ has a hot-dipped aluminium/zinc/magnesium alloy-coated steel substrate which gives it enhanced cut-edge and wet-area performance. It has a waterborne or polyester top coat baked on a polyester primer, giving an extremely durable paint system that resists UV damage and provides excellent gloss and colour retention.
ColorCote® ZMX™
ZMX™ has a hot-dipped aluminium/zinc/magnesium alloy-coated steel substrate which gives it enhanced cut-edge and wet-area performance. It has a thicker coating of polyester primer for improved corrosion resistance and a 70% PVF2 top coat. This system gives outstanding gloss, colour retention and durability in severe and industrial environments.
ColorCote® ZRX™
ZRX™ has a hot-dipped aluminium/zinc alloy-coated steel substrate with a thicker coating of polyester primer for improved corrosion resistance and a 70% PVF2 top coat. This system gives outstanding gloss, colour retention and durability in severe and industrial environments.
ColorCote® AR8™ and ARX™
Using type 5052 or 5005 marine grade aluminium alloy substrates, polyester primer, a choice of waterborne, polyester or 70% PVF2 top coats, AR8™ and ARX™ are designed for use in severe and very severe marine environments and are ideal for cladding.
