External Applications
Prepainted coloured metals are manufactured under strict quality
control in the coil coating process. Metal coils are most commonly   Kingspan XL Forté

include a pre-formed film laminated to the coil surface or a powder   Kingspan Altaris

  Kingspan Destral
common metal substrates for prepainting.
Internal Applications
Prepainted coloured metals are often considered more durable and
  Kingspan CLEANsafe 15
more corrosion-resistant than most post-painted metals because
the metal is treated before it is cut and formed, and the entire   Kingspan CLEANsafe 25

of the order of 4μm, the majority of the coating being the top coat.

Liquid paints account for more than 90% of the coatings used
for prepainted metal. Liquid paints are made up of four main
constituents:
1. Solvents
Solvents are used as a delivery mechanism, allowing the paint
to flow-out and give a smooth wet film before drying and curing.
Solvents are not incorporated into the finished product.

2. Binders
Binders are polymeric materials that give structure to the paint,
which is why coatings are usually categorised by the type of
binding polymer used. The main types of binders are:
  Polyvinyl chloride (PVC), e.g. Kingspan XL Forté
  Polyurethane (PU), e.g. Kingspan Spectrum
  Polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), e.g. Kingspan Altaris
  Polyester (PE), e.g. Kingspan Destral

3. Pigments
Pigments used in coil coatings are generally inorganic. They
provide colour and certain physical properties such as corrosion
protection.

4. Additives
Additives are included in the paint formulation to modify aspects
such as paint flow, speed of curing, UV absorption and gloss.

 Maintenance
Guide Inspection

Regular inspection and maintenance will ensure

that the coating remains in good condition and
the performance of the insulated panels
is maintained.

The inspection is based upon good practice. It should be carried

out annually throughout the life of the building.

The areas marked with asterisks (*) below should be checked, not
only at every inspection, but also soon after the building is erected.

It is recommended to watch for changes in the condition of the

coating, particularly upon approach to the end of the ‘Period to
Re-paint Decision’, which is the length of time before a building
owner needs to consider whether to re-paint the cladding.

Building owners should record details of the building and keep a

record of inspections and maintenance. This is an important part
of the documentation for any building.

 Maintenance Cleaning
Guide Procedures

Rainfall alone is often sufficient to keep exterior surfaces looking clean and bright. However, to achieve
maximum life from the insulated panels, it is important that accumulations of dirt and debris, which are
not removed by normal rain washing, are removed regularly by cleaning.

Areas of cladding that lie beneath overhanging building details,

such as those beneath gutters for example, are particularly
susceptible to a build-up of dirt. Such accumulations may hold
water and pollutants which can lead to ‘wet poultice’ corrosion.

The frequency of cleaning and cleaning agents used is dictated by

the types of activities conducted in any given area. It is important
that coatings are cleaned using the recommended procedures
described below.
1. Pre-clean. Spray all surfaces with a diluted solution of fresh
potable water and good quality household detergent or
proprietary cleaner using a pressure washer to entrap dust
particles and spores. The maximum water temperature should
be 60°C with a maximum pressure of 1000lbs per square inch.

2. Wash. While surface is still wet, wash using a soft bristle

brush to remove any grease and dirt. Use a bucket containing
a solution of fresh potable water and good quality household
detergent or proprietary cleaner.
When cleaning, the following points should be noted:
3. Rinse. Rinse thoroughly to remove any loose dirt or detergent

Before performing any panel repair, the surface must be cleaned as described under the “Cleaning
Procedures” section and allowed to dry properly. Surface preparation is important and should be
carried out by specialist contractors using recommended methods and approved maintenance paints.
