Care & Mainteance ISO standards BS EN ISO 12944-8 set guidelines for corrosion protection of steel. In order to maintain the effectiveness of this feature, it is highly recommended to execute the following procedures during product lifetime: ORDINARY MAINTENANCE FOR PRODUCTS TREATED WITH HOT-DIP GALVANIZATION: • Use low pressure cold water, at least 3 times a year. • Use hot water (122-140° F / 50-60° C) and 3,5-4 bar pressure once a year. The correct execution of ordinary maintenance determines the best conditions for the durability of the product and maintains the characteristics of protection of the steel intact over time. Omitting or limiting maintenance actions can accelerate product degradation. Treatments & Surfaces Hot-Dip Galvanized Steel Amalfi, Cortina.026, Sierra.015 & Tahoe.h24 products undergo hot-dip galvanization , a treatment which consists of immersing the steel articles in a tank of molten zinc. The recommended temperature for the metal is 450° C. The level of the tank is adjusted daily by adding zinc and alloys with quality in compliance with UNI EN ISO 1461 and related standards. The aluminum frame and slats are coated with polyester powder paint. This guarantees excellent resistance to chemical and atmospheric agents. It is, therefore, suitable, above all, for finishing articles intended for outdoor use. The polyester powder paints provide excellent resistance to UV rays, atmospheric and chemical agents with high durability and no peeling. The final curing phase to ensure hardening takes place at high temperatures (around 170°). Cataphoretic Coating Splash Air & Eclipse Wired products utilize cataphoresis. Cataphoretic coating is a process in which articles are immersed in a bath of paint diluted with water and charged by an electric current, which completely coats the surfaces. This is one of the most eco-friendly, industrial painting systems and it also maintains excellent resistance to corrosion. Polyester powder paint guarantees excellent resistance to chemic and atmospheric agents. Are the Products Corrosion-Resistant? The products have obtained the corrosion resistance standards UNI EN ISO 9227:2012. The laboratory test, conducted in a neutral salt spray chamber, certifies the strength of the material and surface coatings, simulating their behavior in high-corrosion environments. Naturally, the elements must not be scratched or vandalized, otherwise the damaged areas will start rusting. Can you sit on the products after prolonged exposure to the sun with high temperatures? Yes, the products are empty inside. Further, products made of aluminum allow the heat to be more dissipated. We still encourage using caution for products in direct sunlight and/or within high temperatures. Are Custom Colors Available? Yes, with a minimum order quantity, surcharge and at an extended lead time. An exact RAL color and Area Manager approval is required.
