Water Based for Exterior Use : The coat of excellence
The use of water-based coatings on exterior
frames and shutters is now commonplace, thanks to the numerous
advantages such coatings provide: reduced emissions of solvents into the
atmosphere; short application times; excellent elasticity of the coating
film and resistance to temperature changes and atmospheric agents;
maximum coatability and absence of any risk of self-combustion on the
part of the spray fumes.
The backdrop to the formulation of the new coatings is that many
manufacturers are now demanding nothing less than state-of-the-art
products in terms of durability, the cost of the original raw materials
notwithstanding. This challenge was instrumental in defining the
approach of ICA's laboratories to researching and refining its product
using state-of-the-art simulation programs that allow for product
performance to be tested thoroughly by exposing the products to
accelerated ageing cycles.
Today, the ARBOREA range represents the perfect combination of
rock-solid protection and long-lasting beauty.The products in the
ARBOREA range provide such high levels of quality because they:
a) Contain preservatives that impede the proliferation of fungi and mold
b) Contain pigments and UV filters that protect the wooden surface and
impede the yellowing and vetrification of the coating film
c) undergo strict internal laboratory testing, not just during the
experimental phase but also through subsequent sampling of individual
batches, to ensure consistency of production are also tested to external
bodies in accordance with stringent regulatory frameworks (including EU
standard UNI EN 927) relating to the classification of exterior coating
products
