Alesta® AP QualiSteel – efficient and sustainable coating of galvanized steel

When it comes to protecting galvanized steel structures and products, the demands for durability, appearance and sustainability have increased significantly. In response to this trend, Axalta offers the highly efficient Alesta® AP QualiSteel powder coatings in architectural quality. Thanks to innovative product-specific properties, the coating can be applied without a pre degassing step. Compared to a traditional two-step process application, the use of the new powder coating enables an increase in productivity without affecting the appearance of the coated surface.

The high yield and reduced curing temperature also contribute to improved value creation for contract coaters and in-house coating companies. Depending on the substrate to be coated, Alesta® AP QualiSteel can be cured at as low as 160°C, while productivity can be further increased at higher temperatures. In addition to the material and energy savings, the new powder coatings have hazardous label-free formulations.

The powder coatings, which are part of the international "QUALISTEELCOAT" quality label, also offer very good UV stability and mechanical resistance, leading to a longer life cycle of the components.

Alesta® AP QualiSteel is typically used for coating steel structures, machine components, garden and outdoor furniture, fencing, railing, playground equipment, urban and outdoor lighting and many more. The powder coatings are available in popular RAL based colours from stock.
