Coatings & Finishes
All IL-Design Aluminium Polyester Powder Coated systems are manufactured to the globally recognised Qualicoat standard that includes:
Four stage chemical pre-treatment process.
Online checks of ‘Dry Film Thickness’ and ‘Gloss Readings’.
Post cure checks for adhesion, impact resistance, bending resistance and boiling resistance.
IL-Design Polyester Powder Coated systems are offered with a range of robust periods of both warranty and colour retention, delivered through our standard offering of powder coated systems using the Class 2 range of powders often referred to as ‘Super Durable’.
Anodised finishes are also available in a number of colours, please contact Kingspan Tech-eXchange for further details.
Corten steel is delivered to site in a green state and forms a self-protective patina over time when exposed to repeated wet/dry cycles.

Certification and Testing
Reaction to Fire
Kingspan IL-Design is manufactured from solid aluminium or Corten weathering steel.
Solid aluminium with a standard 60 micron polyester powder coating (PPC) finish from the Kingspan Colours & Coatings range has a Reaction to Fire Classification of A2-s1, d0 when tested in accordance with EN 13501-1.
Anodised aluminium is an aluminium alloy with an inorganic coating and therefore classified as A1 in accordance with EN 13501-1 without further testing as outlined in EU Commission Decision 96/603/EC.
Corten is an uncoated steel and therefore classified as A1 in accordance with EN 13501-1 without further testing as outlined in EU Commission Decision 96/603/EC.
For further information, please contact Kingspan Tech-eXchange.

Grade of aluminium of rainscreen panel;
Chosen colour and finish;
Required matt to gloss levels;
Locations of the building; and
Environmental factors.
Standard coating warranty periods of up to 25 years are available and are subject to confirmation of the above factors by application prior to order to confirm coating specification.
